Figging - Ginger - Female perspective

Anyone who's tried it - does it continually burn more, or burn badly at the start and then reach a bit of a plateau?

At first it doesn't burn, then there's a sensation of warmth (although no actual increase in temperature) which may reach a feeling of heat. It holds steady but your body gets more used to it, in my experience. After the fig of ginger is removed, the sensation disappears in about ten or fifteen minutes.

How hot a particular piece of ginger gets is unpredictable. Some people say buying it two weeks before intended use lets it build up more of the "heat" ingredient as it fully ripens out of the refrigerator (where it's more likely to grow slimy or moldy at the cut end). But you usually have no idea how old it was when you bought it, and those two weeks could allow it to dry out and shrivel a bit.

If you want to be more consistent, you can make your own suppositories with powdered ginger intended for kitchen use.

The title of this topic is "Figging - Ginger - Female perspective". As it is asking for female responses a number of male posts have been removed. As they were giving their advice and were willing to try figging/ginger. Their opinion, and other suggestions, on the topic is not being asked for! So if you find your post is no longer here...that is why.

Maybe not " everybody's darling ", but also precious to give it a try when you are in a " special mood " for an extraaordinary, personal experience !!

Hopefully you will enjoy it !! - good luck for all the interested females !!

I tried peeled raw ginger, but the discussion here led me to try chilled as soon as possible

Someone posted in another thread that soaking it in water raised the intensity. Can’t vouch for it, but worth a try.
