4 Reasons why Ginger is so Amazing!

Ginger root -- Zingiber officinale --also known as Sheng jiang (in Chinese Medicine) or Galanga (if you happen to be in Thailand) is such a great herb for so many reasons; it is a natural, cost-effective way to stay healthy and keep warm this Autumn season!

1. Ginger is used as an AntiViral: there's nothing better to fight the cold and flu season than with a steaming cup of ginger root tea. Boiling a small pot of water with grated ginger is excellent to help ease a sore throat and sweat out toxins.

2. Ginger is great for lowering Blood Pressure and improves Circulation! Ginger works to thin the blood which ultimately lowers blood pressure and reduces the chance of blood clots. Ginger also dilates the blood vessels and prevents platelets from sticking to blood vessels.

3. Ginger is a natural antispasmodic which helps ease menstrual cramps or abdominal cramping with IBS.

4. Ginger is the best thing out there for Nausea! Any kind of nausea, whether it be motion sickness or morning sickness, a result from anaesthesia post-surgery or from chemotherapy treatments. Ginger is excellent for keeping nausea at bay.
