Good post about the overall healing systems! I also wrote something about peppermint and ginger.
Perppermint works really well especially when you are suffering some "airy stomach", that is besides ginger. And usually i like to take raw peppermint with spicy food so that I can avoid possible purging / constipation later in the day. ^_^

And of course I need to add one more: Slippery Elm. Brilliant for aches, problems, irritation, cramps or constipation. An old Native American remedy.

Note of warning, if your blood is thin, ginger will thin it even further, so it shoul be avoided, unfortunately.
Even a small amount thins the blood. Good for those with thick blood and tendency to clot, provided they are not already being treated with blood thinners.

Hi Katyzzz- Thank you for the addition... I knew that it thins the blood but thought it was done over time... thank you for clearing that up for the readers!
