Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have high blood pressure and take medication for it ( X- Forge ) . I usually take ginger in my coffee, for the taste, but I was told recently that this is bad for my blood pressure and that I should not take ginger more than once a week. Is this true ?
