Kiitos, Joh. It was a good brief practical guideline for all of us. I have been helping another PD patient find relief for nausea. This is likely to help.

Herbs? AO ________________________________________ Not quite. Roots. Specifically, ginger (organic is much stronger if you can find it in your area). You can suck on a small piece if you feel the nausea coming on, but I've found an alternate way to be much easier. Slice up a good amount, dump it into a tall coffee mug and fill with boiling water. After cooling, the "tea" can be drunk to wash down your regular meds instead of using just plain water. Easy, and it prevents the nausea from starting, every time. Leave the ginger slices sitting in the mug, or transfer to a water bottle. If you keep topping off the ginger-water each time you drink from it, the slices will last several days. Also good for warming your core in winter and preventing head colds! ;) Best, Joh ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
