Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the more commonly used herbal supplements. Although often consumed for culinary purposes, it is taken by many patients to treat a variety of conditions. Ginger has been shown to be effective for pregnancy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting. There is less evidence to support its use for motion sickness or other types of nausea and vomiting. Mixed results have been found in limited studies of ginger for the treatment of arthritis symptoms.
生姜（姜科植物姜）是较常用的草药补充剂之一。虽然它常被用于烹饪，但许多患者也用它来治疗多种病症。生姜已被证明对妊娠引起的恶心和呕吐以及术后恶心和呕吐有效。支持其用于晕动病或其他类型恶心和呕吐的证据较少。在关于生姜治疗关节炎症状的有限研究中发现了混合结果。
