Ginger is a root that has a lot of beneficial properties and bioactive compounds that are good for the health. It`s powerful natural cure for many health problems, digestive disorders and detoxification of the organism.
The nutrients, bioactive compounds and rich enzyme content improve the digestion of the food and the elimination of the toxins from the body.
Although it`s powerful and nutritious plant that can eliminate health problems, ginger should not be consumed if people are suffering from certain medical conditions without knowing its effects on these conditions.

You should not take ginger in these 4 cases:

Blood disorders
You should never take ginger if you suffer from hemophilia. This means that the ability of the blood to clot is reduced.  Ginger on the other hand has the opposite effect. It improves the circulation of the blood so it`s good for treating obesity, diabetes, Raynaud’s disease, peripheral artery disease etc.
Taking ginger in case of hemophilia can even be fatal.
Some medications
You should not consume ginger if you have diabetes or high blood pressure and if you take meds for these illnesses.
Ginger neutralizes the effects of the medications because it lovers the blood pressure and stimulates blood thinning so it should not be mixed with insulin, anticoagulants or beta-blockers.

Underweight


Ginger is primary used for treating digestive problems. Ginger and its supplements are rich with fiber that elevates the pH levels in the stomach and stimulates the production of digestive enzymes. If you are underweight don’t use ginger because it might make other problems like hair loss, additional weight loss, menstrual irregularities.
Pregnancy
Using ginger during the pregnancy is not advised because it can provoke labor or premature contractions, although it can help with the morning sickness.  It can also interfere with the iron and fat soluble vitamins. Always consult your doctor before taking ginger during your pregnancy.

Is there a substitute for Ginger?

If you can’t take ginger, if you belong to any of the risk groups, you can use sweet peppers, red paprika or cayenne peppers.
According to the nutritionist Milka Raicevic, peppers have the same effects as ginger. You can make your own detoxification drink by adding peppers to your lemonade instead of ginger. The results will be the same!
