[23:17:59] <exec> 08└─Search on ginger and migraine and you'll find much info and a study supporting that ginger can be as effective as a dose of Sumatriptan in certain cases. My experience has been that the ginger severely dulls most migraines and has even stopped a few completely. As someone without medical insurance,...
