Is Ginger, Harmfull In High Blood Pressure Patients?

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 ?

Hi,

Ginger does not harm your heart. In fact, the alkaloids in the ginger are good for your heart. You can safely take gingers without any concerns.
