Health benefits of Ginger

For thousands of years, Arabic, Indian, and Asian healers prized ginger as food and medicine. This tropical plant, in the same bo¬tanical family as turmeric and cardamom, was effectively used to relieve nausea and vomiting caused by illness and seasickness.
Ginger is a multi-faceted remedy with at least six more healing effects:

1. It reduces pain and inflammation, making it valuable in managing arthritis, headaches, and menstrual cramps.
2. It has a warming effect and stimulates circulation.
3. It inhibits rhinovirus, which can cause the common cold.
4. It inhibits such bacteria as Salmonella, which cause diarrhea, and protozoa, such as Trichomonas.
5. In the intestinal tract, it reduces gas and painful spasms.
6. It may prevent stomach ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
