In meer dat 30 studies op het gebied van misselijkheid en braken blijkt dat gemberwortel een zinvol middel is. Zelfs de meestal zeer terughoudende Cochrane meta-analyse spreekt zich positief uit over de waarde van gemberwortel.

Given that many antiemetic medications have the potential for sedation as a side effect, the use of ginger is a reasonable and safe alternative to treat pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting. Ginger may also play an adjunctive role in the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting, for which it has been shown to be effective. Benefits of ginger for other forms of nausea and vomiting have not been demonstrated.
