The powdered rhizome of the ginger plant is a part of some natural products that help to suppress the feeling of nausea during travelling

(by car, plane, ship, etc.). These preparations do not induce sleepiness and, therefore, are also suitable for drivers. Their use is not

recommended to pregnant women and patients taking anticoagulants and immunosuppressants.

Keywords: ginger, Zingiber officinale, interactions
