Ginger's Health Benefits

Ginger is one of the most important digestive herbs in the world and has many health benefits. It can be used for a nauseous stomach, morning sickness, motion sickness, and other intestinal problems.

Ginger is a good remedy for patients who are going through chemotherapy by helping with stomach discomfort and nausea.  This herb can ease stomach upset because ginger has a  warming and blood moving effect that is helpful for people with poor circulation.

Drinking ginger tea with a splash of lemon can help flush out inflammation triggering toxins, reducing joint aches, and also as an extra bonus can trim up to four pounds of trapped fluid in our body, an easy way to lose that excess fluid.

Just drink daily three cups of ginger tea with a little lemon and soon you will see and feel the results.

Ginger can be taken in extract form, capsules, or tea. I personally

have experienced the results from drinking ginger tea.

"Once the science was there, more doctors were willing to 'prescribe' it," says Patricia Raymond, MD, assistant professor of clinical internal medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Va.

Try candied ginger, ginger tea or even ginger cookies the next time that you're feeling queasy.

A friend of mine uses GINGER for her cancer and it helps her she says.

Ginger root has a very high level of antioxidants -- higher than many berries -- making it an excellent defender against cell damage and associated disease caused by free radicals. Ginger continues to be the focus of research investigating its role in cancer prevention and treatment of lymphoma, breast, liver, skin, bladder and colorectal cancers. Ginger’s antioxidant activity is one of several mechanisms thought to explain its possible anticancer effects. Others include its ability to decrease cancer cell proliferation and suppress mechanisms that initiate cancer cell activation.

We put ginger in our smoothies and tea.
