Ginger is low in oxalate at 3 mg per teaspoon — negligible. It's used as a flavoring, not eaten by the cup, so the actual oxalate contribution to a meal is zero. Fresh ginger in stir-fries, ginger tea for nausea, pickled ginger with sushi — all safe. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that may be generally beneficial. The only form to be cautious about is concentrated ginger supplements, and even then, the concern isn't primarily oxalate.
