Ginger is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive superfood. The spice is recommended as a natural remedy for many physical ailments thanks to its nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals.

However, there are situations where ginger is a less than optimal addition to your diet and may exacerbate an already existing problem.

When to avoid ginger root

Here are some of the situations where ginger should be avoided due to its risks.

1. Blood diseases

Ginger is a blood thinner that promotes circulation. In some blood disorders such as hemophilia (where blood does not clot properly), blood thinners can worsen the condition and cause minor and potentially life-threatening bleeding.

Because ginger is beneficial due to these very effects for cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and high cholesterol, it is best to avoid it if you have a blood disorder without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
