加勒比海沿岸国家的渔民在出海前咀嚼生姜,并认为这样能避免海上晕船。最近美国科学家进行的试验证明结果的确如此。生姜同各国生产的防晕船药物相比,不会引起口干、昏睡、血压降低等副作用。据此,瑞士一家公司开始生产含有生姜香料的防晕药,供人们乘车、坐船时服用生姜在美国? Fishermen in countries along the coast of the Caribbean chewed ginger before going to the sea and thought it would avoid seasickness at sea. Recent tests conducted by American scientists have proved that this is indeed the case. Ginger does not cause side-effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, and lower blood pressure compared with anti-seasickness drugs produced in various countries. Based on this, a Swiss company started to produce anti-wax drugs containing ginger spices for people to take a car or take a boat while they are in the United States.
