Ginger and the Muscles and Joints
Ginger has been undergoing trials in Denmark to discover the herb's anti-inflammatory potential in the treatment of arthritis. Over 75% of those involved in the trials said they experienced relief in pain and swelling. This is because of ginger's anti-inflammatory effects as well as its benefit for blood circulation.


In June 1999 a new drug called Zinaxin was launched in the UK to treat arthritis. It was a dietary supplement based on highly concentrated extracts of Ginger. Danish scientists developed the drug after extensive research into the effects of hundreds of natural substances, finding that Ginger was the most effective.

Circulation
Numerous studies have confirmed the fact that Ginger can work as effectively as aspirin to help clear the build up in clogged arteries. As well as this, Ginger has been found to strengthen the cardiac muscle and lower serum cholesterol levels.

Other Uses
Ginger's anti-bacterial properties are recognised by the Japanese who use it as an antidote to fish poisoning, especially from sushi. Ginger has been found to kill the anisakis lavae (a parasite that infects fish and marine animals and can be harmful to humans if ingested).


Ginger protects against stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori and is effective against the growth of many bacteria including E Coli, and Salmonella. At the same time it actually helps the growth of the beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus.

The International Journal of Obesity reported in October 1992 that Ginger burns calories and so aids weight loss.

Cautions
The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) in America include Ginger on their GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list. However, because Ginger can thin the blood it should not be used in significant doses alongside anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin unless your doctor approves.

Although it is said that Ginger can be a great relief for women suffering morning sickness, pharmacists are generally advised to counsel against its use during pregnancy.

Ginger as an essential oil should be used with caution as it may irritate sensitive skin.

Summary
Ginger has undergone numerous testing and research in recent years and has proved itself to be an extremely valuable herb in many areas.


Used mainly for digestive comfort and relief from nausea, it can also improve circulation, relieve pain and swelling in osteo-arthritis, and kill harmful bacteria while promoting the good.

Don't forget to include Ginger regularly in your diet - a full-flavoured way to great health!
