A practice involving the use of ginger root for stimulation

Gingering[edit]

Gingering, also known as figging, is a practice that involves the insertion of a piece of peeled ginger root into the anus or vagina. This practice is known for its ability to produce a warm, tingling sensation due to the natural properties of ginger.

History[edit]

The practice of gingering has historical roots, with some sources suggesting its use in ancient times for both punitive and erotic purposes. It is believed to have been used as a form of corporal punishment, where the discomfort caused by the ginger would serve as a deterrent.

Mechanism[edit]

The sensation produced by gingering is due to the chemical compounds found in ginger, primarily gingerol, which is responsible for its pungent taste and warming effect. When applied to mucous membranes, these compounds can cause a tingling or burning sensation.

Preparation[edit]

To prepare ginger for figging, a fresh ginger root is peeled and shaped into a smooth, finger-like form. The ginger is then inserted into the desired orifice, where it is left for a period of time to allow the sensation to develop.

Uses[edit]

Gingering is used in various contexts, including:

Erotic play: Some individuals use gingering as a form of BDSM play, where the sensation is part of a consensual power exchange.
Punishment: Historically, gingering was used as a form of punishment, particularly in naval and military settings.

Safety Considerations[edit]

While gingering can be a safe practice when done consensually and with care, there are several safety considerations to keep in mind:

Allergies: Individuals with allergies to ginger should avoid this practice.
Duration: The ginger should not be left in place for extended periods to prevent irritation or damage to sensitive tissues.
Hygiene: Proper hygiene should be maintained to prevent infection.

-'''Gingivitis''' is a common and mild form of [[gum disease]] (periodontal disease) that causes irritation, redness, and swelling (inflammation) of your [[gingiva]], the part of your gum around the base of your teeth. It's important to take gingivitis seriously and treat it promptly. Gingivitis can lead to much more serious gum disease called [[periodontitis]] and tooth loss.

-==Causes==
+==Gingering==
-The most common cause of gingivitis is poor [[oral hygiene]] that encourages plaque to form on teeth, causing inflammation of the surrounding gum tissues. Here's how plaque can lead to gingivitis:

-* Plaque forms on your teeth when starches and sugars in food interact with bacteria normally found in your mouth. Plaque requires daily removal because it re-forms quickly.

-* Plaque that stays on your teeth can harden under your gumline into tartar (calculus), which collects bacteria. Tartar makes plaque more difficult to remove, creates a protective shield for bacteria, and causes irritation along the gumline.
-* The longer that plaque and tartar remain on your teeth, the more they irritate the gingiva, the part of your gum around the base of your teeth, causing inflammation. Over time, your gums can swell and bleed easily.

-* Flossing daily
-* Getting regular dental checkups
-* Avoiding tobacco use
-* Limiting sugary foods and drinks
-==Treatment==
+===Uses===
-Treatment for gingivitis includes professional dental cleaning and improved oral hygiene. In mild cases of gingivitis, patients may not even know they have it. However, if you notice any symptoms, it is important to get treatment to prevent the progression of gingivitis to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss and other health problems.

-Professional cleaning can remove plaque and tartar that can't be removed at home. If gingivitis continues despite the effort to prevent it, more extensive dental treatment may be necessary, such as [[dental scaling]] and root planing - a deep-cleaning technique.
