Freshly grated and squeezed ginger juice would freeze better, and could be use as an additive to a lube, or painted neat on the pink bits of the recipient and would still be effectively warming. Just stir the liquid a few times while it freezes to stop large crystals forming and then leave it until you need to use it. and of course, you could use it in the form of ice cubes too, if you have a mind to! Freezing whole shaped ginger pieces would work to a certain extent, but the tissues would begin to break down quickly, as when frozen the water content within the ginger would have expanded and compromised the fibres of the plant. What you can do with whole ginger is age it. Put large pieces of ginger root into a clean plastic bag and forget about it at the back of the fridge for a good few weeks. It should, by then, have turned into something not very pretty at all, might even need a shave, but trust me, washed under running water, dabbed dry on kitchen towel and then shaped for use it can take on some rather evil powers!
