I’m a sailor, so I like to take friends sailing:-).  While I may be used to the wind and waves, those I take out on the water don’t share my invulnerability to sea seasickness. That’s why I like to keep a 4oz bottle of Jake’s in my pack. Nausea, whatever it comes from can be an unpleasant symptom of various conditions such as vertigo, pregnancy (morning sickness), sea sickness, chemotherapy, and more. 

Ginger has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for nausea due to its powerful anti-inflammatory and antiemetic properties. Jake’s StrongGinger, with its concentrated ginger extract, is an ideal base for creating a soothing ginger concoction to help alleviate nausea. Here’s how to make an effective ginger drink to ease your discomfort.  You can drink straight for almost immediate relief, but it you like this little concoction is something you can make and store in you fridge. 

Ingredients:

•1 cup of Jake’s StrongGinger

•2 cups of water

•Juice of 1 lemon (optional)

•1 tablespoon of honey or stevia (optional)
