Ginger has a great array of uses and the ability to balance what appears to be opposites.  This quality enables ginger to be used for everything from an intestinal corrective, to the life saving artery cleanser, to the herb of choice for infertility.  The difficult question is not, “What can ginger be used for”. 

The difficult question is, “What can’t ginger be used for”.  There is only one time in which the use of ginger should be avoided.  The excessive use of ginger late in the evening has been known to stimulate the system enough to keep the user from falling asleep easily.
