Ginger - A Wonderful Spice
& Ideal Health Protector
This famous cooking spice and ginger bread ingredient, has been used across
the globe many hundreds of years, for its healing and health protective properties.
Ginger has gained a legendary reputation for use as a digestive aid and nausea reliever.
Ginger also helps heal ulcers, supports heart and cardio health, reduces inflammation,
and reduces recovery time from the flu and colds.
Ginger also offers a high level of anti-cancer activity. To aid in heart and circulation problems It also inhibits platelet stickiness or clumping, thus reducing the risk of certain types of heart disease. Strengthening of the heart muscle and reducing cholesterol is but another great benefit.
In my personal "Essential Mega-Herb List" ginger would be right up there. Garlic, cayenne, red clover, bee pollen, black pepper, cinnamon, echanacea, milk thistle, spirulina and barley grass would also be on that list among others. These are just about the most protective and nourishing nutrients available for the human body. Ginger and garlic are two of the most researched herbs ever.
Ginger is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, insurance against ulcers, heart disease, colds and flu. And of course a truly effective digestive tonic, with anti-nausea properties that also helps with motion sickness. Some studies have concluded ginger to be as effective as Dramamine without the nasty side effects. It regulates the wave-like movement of the muscles (peristaltic action) that push food and waste through the digestive track, while enhancing the growth of beneficial flora in the intestines and inhibiting toxic bacteria simultaneously.
Ginger as a tea helps prevent colds and reduces both their severity and recovery time. The anti pain and inflammatory, immune-stimulating, and cough-suppressing properties make it the ideal "natural medicine" during cold and flu season. Also remember the garlic and echanacea for really strong synergistic action.
The 'blue ring' variety of ginger reportedly has the highest level
of digestive enzymes. It's extremely important to use only 100% certified organic varieties due to heavy pesticide
use on the non-organic crops. Combining powdered and fresh ginger is a potent combination.
Nature always has answers, so if you can find ways around risky and sometimes life
threatening "drug fixes" so common these days, you can at least not be worrying about
side effects while trying to heal and protect your body.
