Breath easier - GingerbreadBoy on call.

Ginger has long been known to have powers to settle an upset stomach.

Now, evidence suggests ginger may be good for easing the symptoms of asthma.  

Recent studies both in  laboratory animals and in human cells that showed that ginger may help to open constricted airways and allow for easier breathing.  

It appears ginger blocks the muscles that cause airway obstruction or constriction.  

Who knows a gingerbread cookie and a cup of ginger tea may be just what the doctor ordered.
