How It Works
Historically, herbalists used this spice to help with a laundry list of complaints, including cold, fever, indigestion, gas, nausea, vomiting, joint discomfort, aches and cramps, as well as abdominal discomfort, fatigue and other symptoms related to a woman's menstrual cycle.
Ginger has been used traditionally for circulatory benefits, digestive health, and nervous system support.
Ginger is also believed to support healthy aging and help combat many age-related health concerns.
Ginger's warming properties assist blood flow to the extremities to help warm the hands and feet and promote heart health.
Ginger's circulatory benefits can also enhance blood flow to the brain, which may aid cognitive function. Research suggests that ginger positively influences levels of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters associated with happiness and well-being.
Ginger has been used traditionally to promote lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) and support weight management. As ginger plays a role in energy regulation, it is said to also have a metabolic-boosting effect. The bioactive constituents in ginger have been well-studied and shown to support metabolic processes. Active compounds in ginger, called gingerols and shogaols, support the thermogenic effect of food, stimulating the body to produce more heat, which may lead to an increase in metabolism.
Ginger also helps soothe intestinal irritation and promotes a healthy inflammatory response. Ginger has been shown to help reduce gut irritation and support intestinal healing. The active compounds gingerols and shogaols appear to interfere with key inflammatory pathways and help reduce the production of pro-inflammatory molecules.
Recent research suggests that ginger's antioxidant properties may also help protect the kidneys from oxidative damage.
Of course, ginger may be best-known for its ability to soothe an upset stomach.
