USES & BENEFITS

Nausea relief. Encouraging stomach emptying can relieve the discomforts of nausea due to:

Chemotherapy. Slattery, who works with patients receiving chemo for cancer, says ginger may take the edge off post-treatment nausea, and without some of the side effects of anti-nausea medications.

Pregnancy. For generations, women have praised the power of ginger to ease “morning sickness” and other queasiness associated with pregnancy.

Bloating and gas. Eating ginger can cut down on fermentation, constipation and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas.

Wear and tear on cells. Ginger contains antioxidants. These molecules help manage free radicals, which are compounds that can damage cells when their numbers grow too high.

Ginger is anti-inflammatory. “Ginger contains over 400 natural compounds, and some of these are anti-inflammatory. More studies will help us determine if eating ginger has any impact on conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or respiratory inflammation.”
