You can make ginger tea - just buy raw ginger (cheap at the grocery store) and cut off a good piece. cut it up or shred it / let it sit in boiling water and simmer, strain and drink but I am sure you are killing some of the healing properties boiling it but it is better than not taking any. I believe raw / fresh ginger is best. If it doesn't irritate your stomach - a chunk AM and PM is good. I just cut off a chunk and peel it and eat it. It is stringy so be prepared to floss your teeth is you aren't careful chewing it up as it gets between your teeth.
I was buying curcumin (oral) which is better than turmeric for some issues (at least it is reported to be the main anti-inflammatory portion of turmeric). I always make sure to eat a few peppercorns to get piperine. Look up turmeric/curcumin and how much more bioavailable it is with piperine - like 2000% if that info is accurate. Plus piperine/black pepper is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant itself.
A cheap option is take a tablespoon of turmeric, throw in some peppercorns, a tea spoon or more of EVOO and it clumps up and grab a glass of water. Throw it down as turmeric stains everything so when I was doing that, I would try to avoid letting it touch my teeth.
I never heard of it helping with libido but maybe it does. I now use injectable curcuject daily or EOD with BCP (not BPC157). It is just injectable curcumin hence better bioavailability.
Ginger is a great product but I had to stop it for a while as it started to irritate my stomach. I took a short break, then started with a much smaller piece and built up to bigger pieces. There are contradictions with ginger and some NSAIDS so read up before you mix them.
