Great info. just passed on to my daughter. I thought I heard something way back about pectin but not sure what that was all about. Thanks Suzi. carolgSuzanne <suziesgoats@...> wrote: Carol, Here are a few notes I have on hand...(got more somewhere) ginger can act relatively quickly-even within minutes-to combat the dizziness and nausea associated with motion sickness or mild vertigo ginkgo biloba, which boosts blood flow to the brain, helped almost half of the patients with chronic vertigo. It may, however, take eight to twelve weeks for ginkgo's effects to be noticed. In addition, vitamin B6, essential to normal brain and nervous system function, may be useful in some cases of chronic dizziness. Cut down on nicotine, caffeine, and salt, which can impair blood flow to the brain. Usual dosage Ginger 100 mg standardized extract every 4 hours as needed.Or try fresh ginger root (1/4 - to 1/2 - inch slice), ginger tea (1/2 tsp, ginger root per cup of hot water or powdered ginger (1 gram)-all taken 3 times a day, Ginger ale (8-ounce glass 3 times a day) can be equally effective if made with real ginger. Ginkgo biloba 80 mg 3 times a day.Standardized to have at least 24% flavone glycosides. Vitamin B6 50 mg 3 times a day.200 mg daily over long term may cause nerve damage.
