We have a similar practice in Chinese culture, after a woman gives birth, they must take baths with ginger for a few weeks. My mother in-law actually spent hours cutting up enough ginger for my wife.

If you have parents that are willing to go above and beyond for their child, a healthy child is sure to follow.

That's not necessarily true. Overzealous parents cause harm all the time due to misguided beliefs/efforts, regardless of how genuine and/or time-consuming they may be.

Ginger actually has physiological effects though.
