Ginger

$0.00

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a large tuberous perennial plant native to southern Asia, now cultivated extensively in almost all tropical and subtropical countries. The underground stem, or rhizome, of the ginger plant, commonly known as the ginger root, is well-known for its medicinal properties. Ginger has been used as a medicine for millennia, recorded in early Sanskrit, Chinese, ancient Greek, Roman, and Arabic medical literature. In Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine as well as herbal medicine, it is a key herb used for conditions of both the respiratory and digestive tracts. 

Ginger’s healing properties are supported not only based on its history of use in these well established systems of traditional medicine, but also a more recent and extensive body of phytochemical studies as well as animal and human clinical studies. Ginger contains a number of key vitamins and minerals, and most of its health benefits are derived from gingerol, a compound with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Common forms of ginger include the fresh or dried root (whole or ground), tablets, capsules, liquid extracts, teas and essential oil.
