Do You Think Ginger Is A Great Herbal Medicine?

Since this is really random, and I've always wanted to know... Do you think Ginger is awesomely-ishy-blah-blah-blah great?
Why (and yes I know it tastes awesome especially when it's pickled)
Did you ever used ginger to relieve pain and such?
Did you know it was good for your skin?
Can you list any more good qualities it possesses as an herbal medicine? (Don't deny the truth. Of course it is medicine!) ^-^

Literally ginger has changed my life. I love to travel and visit amusement parks and I was losing that ability. Ginger has restored that it keeps me from getting motion sickness. I also use crystallized ginger for those long days in the cold outdoors, it lasts a long time and soothes and protects the throat. I also buy ginger lozenges for cough suppressant and breath freshener. I lover drinking ginger tea as it soothes the throat, boosts the immune system and revitalizes. Ginger Ale is a very refreshing summertime drink, great on a hot day.

My ginger always makes me feel better. After a hard day, I just go to her and get all serviced up. I like the Irish ones.

i think it is because its used in many chinese herbs and they KNOW medicine lol
i like it my ginger ale and it make me warm

ginger juice + natural honey in equal parts cures a cold gives u immunity - u can also grate ginger and mix in honey and keep it for a few days eat a spoon daily for abt 2-3 months
it gives u high resistance power :) not too bad to eat just hot hehehehe
ginger tea with milk is preferred in india for the same reasons
it's too rash on the skin so dun use it directly
