Just throw a palm full in water and boil it for about five minutes until it turns light yellow or smells like ginger whichever comes first. I add rice milk or regular milk and a little honey. It's very soothing and really helps your stomach.

If you don't mind me asking, since you are bi-polar too and can't take Topamax, what are you taking now to stabilize your moods and to control hypomania?
