Ailment: Sciatica

Remedy: Ginger - crystallised (candied)

You can buy crystallised ginger in Asian stores if you can't find it in your local supermarket. It is made from ginger and cane sugar, and should have no other ingredients or chemicals. It is also easy to make yourself.

YES
I just bought a bag today ate a few pieces...which I'm not a big fan of ginger but to rid this pain I will try anything ...it stopped hurting almost instantly...its so sad that doctors and health care places won't tell u the simplist thing to fix u ...all they want is money ...in my opinion I am pain free for the first time in weeks and even if its just in my head I'll continue to eat it

I have heard from several sources that eating a few spoon-sized pieces of ginger throughout the day rapidly relieves sciatica. Do not know how or why, but if you have tried this please let us know
