Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take garlic and ginger if I’m on blood thinners?
Both can have mild blood-thinning effects. Always check with your doctor first, especially if you take warfarin, aspirin, or similar medications.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Moderate cooked amounts are generally considered safe, but large medicinal doses of ginger (over 4 g/day) or garlic supplements should be discussed with your OB-GYN.
Will it upset my stomach?
Starting low and taking with food prevents issues for most people. Ginger actually protects the stomach lining for many.
The Bottom Line
Two humble roots you probably already have in your kitchen can quietly support healthier blood pressure, calmer joints, stronger immunity, and energy that doesn’t fade by 3 p.m. The effects build slowly—like compound interest for your body. Skip them and nothing dramatic happens tomorrow. Embrace them and months from now you may wonder why you waited so long.
