If you have any of these conditions listed below, it is recommended that you stop consuming ginger.
Bleeding Disorders
Because ginger promotes circulation, if you have a bleeding condition like hemophilia, ginger can make you bleed more if you were to get a cut. If you are taking blood thinning tablets, you should avoid ginger also.
Gallstones
Ginger naturally stimulates the gallbladder into producing more bile, so if you have gallstone ginger can make the condition worse. If you have had, or currently have gallstones, you should avoid ginger.
Ulcers
Eating fresh ginger can lead to worsening symptoms of an ulcer or intestinal blockage because ginger stimulates digestion.
Pregnant Women
Because of the stimulation of circulation that ginger provides, it can make it harder for your body to absorb nutrients, and can cause uterine contractions.
High Blood Pressure
Ginger naturally lowers blood pressure, so if it taken in conjunction with other blood pressure medications, it can cause a crash in blood pressure.
Diabetes
Again, ginger is dangerous to take with other drugs that are already balancing blood sugars because it naturally lowers blood sugar by itself.
Before Surgery
Again, because of the increased blood flow, which can lead to increased bleeding during a surgery.
In Combination with Certain Herbs
Ginger’s effects can be magnified by other herbs that do the same things that ginger does like preventing blood clots, or increasing circulation. Garlic, ginkgo, turmeric, and ginseng all improve circulation and can increase your risks of bleeding if combined with ginger.
Ginger in and of itself is one of the healthiest substances you can put in your body, but you need to be careful what you mix with ginger.
Ginger almost works too well by itself as it is! As you can see, most of these side-effects are based on other chemicals that you are putting into your body, and not just the ginger.

Propaganda
The quantity is key. Ginger and ginger tea are excellent for pregnant women for morning sickness. But everything has to be done in moderation. Do the research before you use any natural, herbal or homeopathic treatment. I have found sources from Germany, China, India and the UK give more factual information, they use this more frequently and their doctors and pharmacists recommend it more frequently than the US does. Ee are controlled by the pharmaceutical industry too many times.
