Just for fun (as a pharmacist).

Ginger is an excellent anti-nauseant but then again Dimenhydrinate is better...but with more side effects.

If you have something serious like Malaria? Yes. Absolutely get medical treatment.

But as a fun aside. Quinine, the original drug for malaria. It was extracted from the Cinchona(sp?) tree and was a natural extract. Then again, getting the right dose from the tree? That was tough ;)

Thanks for the article.
