Here's one example, but any Asian market or large grocery store should have it. Note, please do not buy from this amazon link. It's easily double the price you can find in stores.

If it's curry you are talking about, then it's probably beni shoga, which is a crimson colored pickled ginger. You should be able to find it in an asian grocery store, or online https://smile.amazon.com/Kizami-Shoga-Pickled-Ginger-Shirakiku/dp/B00886NUZ0

> Dramamine

Dear God! You poor thing! Omg, I hate that stuff!

Try some candied ginger! For most of us, it removes the nausea! Yes, even for us old folk! If you can't handle the taste of ginger, then get some caplets. They take longer to take effect, tho(I get 3-4 hours per caplet). The candied ginger works in minutes (3-4 pieces or around 15grams). It can be broken, but I do a lot of VR that I couldn't do without it! Including smooth movement!

I wish I had known about ginger in my sailing days! I will NEVER touch that Dramamine crap again!!!!!!!!!!

My stomach goes out to ya! Bleh...

u/invertedjenny · 4 pointsr/Kombucha

I had a roommate who used to buy The Ginger People brand and I thought it was good! He forgot about it all the time so I ended up using most of it.

However, making your own is very cheap and easy. That's what I do now when I want gingery kombucha. I also buy my ginger at Asian grocery stores because it is often fresher, larger, prettier, and cheaper than the ginger at places like Kroger, Meijers, etc.

I make my ginger juice in a blender. I will give everything a rough dice, toss it in the blender with enough water to make everything blend nicely. Place a fine mesh sieve over a pitcher, pour the mix over. I will save the ginger pulp and add a little water to it, some sugar, some lemon juice, and boil it to get all the ginger flavor I can, pouring that liquid into the pitcher.

u/browntownslc · 3 pointsr/seriouseats

Not enough peeps use benishoga or shoga as others know it as a garnish. Every single person I have suggested it to can’t imagine their ramen without it now.

u/assclone · 3 pointsr/SeattleWA

So this may sound crazy, but I keep a bag of these on hand (they're also super awesome for when you're sick or need some clearing up) and just mix with some bourbon and (if I'm feeling fancy) some fresh lemon juice.

u/dante187 · 2 pointsr/kratom

I use this to help fight of that nauseous feeling https://www.amazon.com/Prince-Peace-Instant-Ginger-Crystals/dp/B002SWB73C


It's very potent so i only use maybe 1/5 of a bag maybe 1/10th. Try making it a little thinner next time.

u/Ambiguous- · 2 pointsr/kratom

My favorite thing is "Prince of Peace" brand Ginger tea with honey crystals to make my kratom tea (Can be purchased at Asian grocery stores or on amazon. Compliments the flavor of most kratom and the first thing I look forward to when I wake up every day. However, before I acquired a taste for kratom years ago, i used to mix it into fruit on the bottom yogurt to get it down.

Here is a link if anyone is interested:

u/angrykimchi · 2 pointsr/Cooking

Some are saying to use store bought, which is fine. American versions are quite different than Thai versions though. I believe homemade to be the best, personal opinion, because you can adjust things easily and control salt. Plus the aroma is fresh and leave my house smelling like my friends' houses LOL

Below are the hard to find ingredients used in every authentic curry paste video I've come across. If you can't get things locally but use Amazon and are willing to spend a little more than at a local spot, you can find exactly what you need to make good curry paste.
None of these are end all be all brands/sellers, just ones I use regularly or have used. Look for lower prices as needed! Just guiding you on some common hard to find items & substitutes if you don't have a fully stocked Asian grocer nearby.

Dried galangal can be rehydrated and works just as well as fresh. Fresh is best, of course, but is hard to find. Ginger is not a replacement for this not even close. I made a curry paste with ginger once then with galangal...no. Heard you can also use galangal powder, but have never tried that.

Shrimp paste, keeps for a long time in the fridge. If you're not familiar with this stuff...it's gonna smell. (Am I strange for liking it though?) It smells like something you don't want to add in but it does not make adverse flavors in curries, it enhances them and the smell goes away once combined in the paste.

Lemongrass can be found at some commercial stores occasionally. I think you said you can get some locally though.

Prik chi fah (or spur chilis, not as spicy as the next pepper below) hardest to come by but you can use dried guajillo peppers (Spanish pepper) in its place.

Prik kee noo (Thai chilis, very spicy) you can use dried Szechuan peppers or arabol chilies (Spanish pepper). Arabols are a bit less spicy than Thai chilies but the flavor is comparable. The exception here is if you're making green curry, you really need fresh green Thai chilis, not sure jalapeños would work as a replacement, the flavor is too different to me.

Kaffir lime leaves Not for the paste but used to make some of the actual curries, in other dishes, or as edible garnish. The two ounce package is plenty and they freeze very well. Very aromatic and fresh scent, adds something nice to the curry. Can't live without it now.

Sounds like you can get fish sauce, but the depth of flavor really depends on the brand. I use squid fish sauce for curries personally. The flavor is nice and smooth but not overpowering. Tiparos is another brand of fish sauce I use for things like larb, stir fry, & Thai omelettes because it's much stronger in my opinion to the other two, too strong for a curry to me. Darker fish sauce, in my experience tend to be stronger than lighter colored ones.

Cilantro roots are just impossible to find in smaller markets or online from my searches. Cilantro stems work just fine! (If you watch the videos I shared below, she mentions this often. Here to confirm it works perfectly.) I double the amount of stems for roots in recipes though.

Cumin seeds, white pepper, coriander seeds can be found easily online and often in mainstream stores. Palm sugar isn't always necessary if you can't find it, I hate the process of breaking it apart!

I use Pai's recipes all the time, she runs Hot Thai Kitchen on Youtube. Her recipes for curries have all been fantastic, just remember to season properly with fish sauce. If you love Thai food definitely watch her videos I've never had a failure and they taste perfect to what my friends' families cook.
Here are her curry paste recipes, and I've tried every single one several times. Videos using the pastes should appear in the more videos sections:

red curry

green curry

yellow curry

Massaman

Panang

She just did a video about coconut milk if you need help with that. I use the Arroy-D in the can, she said she's never got it to separate but I have so I have no issues with it.

If you have questions, let me know!
Oh, and eat your Thai-style curry with Jasmine rice if you aren't, the aroma of it really enhances everything!

I found this I wonder if it will dissolve as well as the ones designed to be tea. Might give it a try thanks for the suggestion.

u/BeeZaa · 1 pointr/Kombucha

Personally, I just buy ginger juice. I was buying the 5oz bottles from Whole Foods but using roughly 3/4 a bottle every batch. Now I just buy it in a big 32oz container off Amazon.

This is what I get.

I take a glass of water, add fresh lemon, a cap full of this stuff and a few drops of liquid stevia.

I've always wanted to try Tapenade but haven't seen it locally. Tapenade is an olive spread, and boy do I love olives. I think I added it when this video was on all the time. I actually have quite a few strange, cheap exotic foods on my wishlist. Sushi ginger isn't that strange I guess. I love it though, I love pickled anything. I feel like i could eat that stuff after any meal. And of course we have Branston pickle, an almost mystical pickle spread from the UK. I hear you either love it or think it's the worst tasting thing ever, and I love trying stuff like that!

go to sleep madysan!!

Thanks for the contest!

u/pm_me_your_mantits · 1 pointr/vegan

It was given to me by a friend, it's this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Ginger-People-Organic-Syrup/dp/B007ILAW34

But i found a recipe for homemade ginger syrup on this website that looks pretty easy! http://minimalistbaker.com/3-ingredient-ginger-latte/

u/kittyjam · 1 pointr/Sjogrens

you could try honeyed ginger crystals! they are also basically black magic for nausea. i get them at a local asian market. you just mix it in hot water for tea or cold water for a nice refreshing drink. here is a link; http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Ginger-Honey-Crystals-Pack/dp/B002SWB73C

u/softinseattle · 1 pointr/Kombucha

I sometimes use a sweetener that is ginger flavoured. It goes well with a bit of candied ginger. So it's a flavour I like that comes with a decent amount of sugar for 2F.

u/ihaveplansthatday · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I need to try peppermint, too! I haven't found a plain ginger tea but I just got a couple new ones to try with ginger in it (Ginger green tea with lemon and the other is black tea, ginger, peach.) Someone sent me a couple of these to try but I'm saving them up for when I feel really awful. I'm all about the herbal remedies and tea for dealing with things. lol

u/Leia1979 · 1 pointr/tea

Feel better soon! Next time you're up to shopping (or ordering online) I like this honey ginger tea for a sore throat. Also, I got a the same tea pot last Christmas.

u/NotNotACylon · 1 pointr/CautiousBB

Ok, I'm currently the ginger queen, so let me advise you. Ginger ale has almost no real ginger in it, so it won't help much. Look for "ginger beer" (it's nonalcoholic) at your fancy grocery store. My MIL sent me a huge bag of ginger chews Gin Gins that have been wonderful. And, when I'm really desperate, I have this hot ginger drink called instant ginger honey crystals. It's super spicy, but always works for me.

u/wannabeemperor · 1 pointr/ramen

Thanks for the tip! this stuff looks pretty highly reviewed. Might be worth a shot!

u/stronglikedan · 1 pointr/KratomKorner

I take on an empty stomach, but eat a small meal within 30 minutes. Some claim eating diminishes the effects, but for me, it gives a little boost. If I don't eat, I'm sometimes very nauseous. If I do eat, I sometimes still get a little nausea, but for that, I take ginger candy. This is my favorite for home, and the same company also has an individually wrapped version for travel. Sometimes the ginger only reduces the nausea to tolerable levels, but most of the time, it eliminates it. As with all things kratom, everyone has different experiences, so YMMV.

u/_Cromwell_ · -1 pointsr/oculus

Drugs, my man/woman.

Start with this, specifically from Walgreens. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-wal-dram-ii-antiemetic-travel-sickness-tablets/ID=prod386177-product?ext=gooPLA_-_Health_Care&pla&kpid=sku386178&sst=39ebceb2-e369-469a-b3ff-87805e00db20&adtype=pla Make sure it is the "2" "Meclizine" variety, which is non (or less) drowsy. Reason to use Walgreen's version is that they are huge pills that are easily split in half or even quarters, AND they dissolve on your tongue with no need to drink, so easy to leave at your desk and take. Other brands can be tiny little pills that are hard to split and have to be taken with water.

Start out taking just half of one, about 20 minutes before you VR. (Just use your fingers to snap it in half, and store the remaining half for later.) If you find half makes your nausea go away entirely, next time try 1/4 pill and see if that still works. Take as little as possible that gives you no nausea. (A little disorientation or other effects are fine... if you were mountain climbing or flying planes IRL you'd be mildly disoriented at times, etc. What you are looking to get rid of is the actual stomach sick feeling.) Once taken, the pills last for around 12 hours, which should be longer than any gaming session. (And obviously if you still feel sick with 1/2 pill, try a whole one the next time. 1/2 pill should take care of you, though, unless you are getting crazy motion sick.)

This will also help train your brain to not get sick during VR, possibly. I took a 1/2 pill the first two or three times I played Elite Dangerous, and now I don't need them at all anymore and never get sick. Same with Climb. This was a surprise to me because I've never been able to get over motion sickness in planes or cars or rollercoasters. Your experience may vary.

If you don't have a Walgreens in your area, pretty much every grocer or drug store sells the same drug under a different name. Just make sure the active ingredient is Meclizine Hcl. If it is the other motion sickness active ingredient (Dimenhydrinite), it'll make you incredibly drowsy... don't use that.

Another thing to keep at your VR desk is ginger, either in pill form or in candy form. Or if you like Asian flavors you can keep pickled ginger. Ginger is a natural anti-nausea medication, most often used by people who are pregnant to combat morning sickness. Works great and fairly fast... take it at the first hints of nausea and you'll get relief in 10-20 minutes after taking it.

Pill version: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/dramamine-non-drowsy-naturals-motion-sickness-relief-capsules/ID=prod6290610-product

Candied version: https://www.amazon.com/GourmetNut-Gourmet-Go-Crystallized-Ginger/dp/B00PBDS98Q/ref=sr_1_17_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1488209144&sr=8-17&keywords=candied+ginger

Not a fan of homeopathic stuff usually, but it is pretty well established that ginger settles upset stomachs and mild nausea. (Cures cancer? Probably not.)


EDIT: Not sure what is up with the downvotes. I have been taking these medications to combat motion sickness in cars (from riding in the back seat usually), motion sickness when flying commercial, and motion sickness on amusement park rides since I was a little kid. I've always been prone to motion sickness. These meds work pretty much flawlessly to get rid of all the bad symptoms of motion sickness with little to no side effects. Again, you have to take the "less drowsy" version with Meclizine Hcl, NOT the older standard Dimenhydrinite. The dimenhydrinite variety will knock you right the hell out. If you are able to "get used to" vr and not suffer from motion sickness without the assistance of meds, more power to you... but if you are a person who is suffering from chronic motion sickness that never goes away I highly recommend trying these medications for VR. (And for any other type of motion sickness you are experiencing.)
