Michelle,
I hope you're still doing the compresses. They are really necessary for moving towards balance, in my opinion. It develops discipline as well as will power. The strengthing of the will occurs with the improved intestinal condition.
Gary has graciously posted some ginger compress information on the site at:

There are several things here. One is from me regarding ginger commpresses and hip baths. The others are from the Kushis and from the Aiharas. I thought it would be a good reference for all to keep in a file somewhere. They are in both Word and Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Please let me know if there is any trouble opening them.
