Özet

Herbal therapies are widely used in Turkey. Especially, ginger is mostly recommended to patients with symptoms of flu by their relatives. A 59-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department (ED) because of sudden loss of consciousness. She was recommended ginger for the relief of flu symptoms. As a result of diagnostic and laboratory evaluation, the probable cause of syncope was ginger usage. This case demonstrated that sometimes herbal therapies are harmful and clinicians must be reminded of this effect.
