Is Ginger Powder Effective In The Treatment Of Headaches?

how can I convert ginger root to teaspoons. I have read several places to take 1 or 2 grams of ginger root powder for a headache. My husband has been having headaches for a month and had a CT scan and showed no problems and can not get an appointment with a neurologist until Jan. He is 70 and we are looking for alternative natural way to relieve his headaches. He is on so much blood pressure, diabetic and heart rhythm. Do you have any suggestions on amounts. I would also like to take ginger root powder as preventative. I have a family history of diabetes, arthritis and cancer and Im 2, however I do eat healthy, no sugar or bread.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Practically there is no direct relation between ginger root and Headache neither in treatment nor in prevention. It some time can work as placebo in some patient. You can try this no side effect . Dose is not significant, start with less. Cause of Headache is rarely stablish by ct scan. Most of the time it is diagnosed by clinically. You can approach MD. Will get good result. Headache not necessarily will go in neurology.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
