If you are suffering from morning sickness, check with your doctor before self-prescribing ginger.

Avoid taking ginger in acute inflammatory conditions. Although it is considered that ginger may actually be helpful in gastritis and peptic ulceration, care is needed in these conditions as any spice may exacerbate the problem.

Avoid when pregnant or trying to get pregnant (large doses may have abortion effects).

Avoid therapeutic doses if taking anti-coagulant therapy such as warfarin and seek advice if taking medication for heart problems. High blood pressure should always be monitored by a healthcare professional.
