Notes
Ginger has been considered a culinary medicinal for thousands of years and played an important role in traditional Chinese and Indian healing. It’s been used cross-culturally to quell inflammation and pain, especially in the digestive tract, and a queasy stomach. Clinical studies have shown it to be more effective than several over-the-counter anti-nausea medications. While ginger has been used for several inflammatory conditions, from asthma to influenza to fibrocystic breasts, today lets focus on inflammation in the digestive system, which will affect every other system in the body. Digestive inflammation may appear in the form of gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, or reflux. Ginger helps to fight this inflammation, cleanse the colon and reduce spasms and cramps. It assists in remedying sores and wounds, which can appear on the inner skin of your digestive tract, as well as your outer skin.There have been several studies measuring the inflammatory markers of mice with IBD. One study showed the ginger lowered those inflammatory compounds up to 73%! (Those with kidney stones or who take anticoagulants, are advised to tread lightly with the ginger, keeping it to your culinary purposes only.)
