Ginger makes me feel better. Am I the only one?

I have seen several members here talking about crashing from ginger. For me it helps me a lot in every way (numbness, cognition, digestion, fatigue). In fact, if it has not been for ginger I would have not been able to have a full time job. It works like 15 min after I drink ginger tea. Am I the only one who benefits from ginger. Any possible explanation why it is good for some and bad for others?
Thanks!

Does it help sensation or orgasm?

Both plus cognition plus fatigue plus emotional numbness. Everything improves.

That's interesting. I have taken ginger+turmeric tea, it feels great, it feels good on digestion, also being anti-nausea. Have you posted your experience on r/pssd ?
because what you experienced is kinda the opposite of the "Ginger-crash" season there.

Glad to hear I am not the only one! I haven’t yet posted it on r/ pssd. Will do.

Be careful you'll crash and destroy your fucking life.. it's a strong 5ht1a agonist so you're getting relief from temporary 5ht1a activation but 5ht1a receptors will eventually desensitize further with chronic use. It's mind boggling how many times I have to repeat the same warnings over and over again.
(Mild pssd you may be able tolerate without crashing but you're playing with fire. I also ate about an inch of raw ginger every morning for about a week and a half until crashing/serotonin syndrome. I have debilitating symptoms now. It's just my experience though feel free to do whatever you want).

Thank you for pointing this out. I will be careful. Maybe I will cycle it.

I guess I am fine; I drink ginger tea randomly once in a while.
Then you ate a pound of ginger per week and "crashed with serotonin syndrome due to 5ht1a agonist"?
If someone "doesn't crash" is "mild-pssd", nice logic...

Stay away from this shit.. I'll keep preaching it but can't help people with huge egos that don't listen.
