20 Healing Benefits of Ginger Root

Ginger is one of the most common ingredients in our food and its popularity spans multiple different countries and regions. Ginger has been used to help add flavor in cooking for hundreds of years and likewise, its use as a health aid and natural remedy also dates back that far.

As with many of the natural remedies of old though, more recent research is now demonstrating that these uses are backed by science. In fact, ginger may have even more uses than we once thought and act as a powerful health agent for fighting aging and cancer, for reducing inflammation, to helping to calm the nerves and help you feel at ease.
The best part is that ginger can be enjoyed in a number of ways – added to food or stirred into tea – and it is easy and affordable to find as well.

Without further ado then, read on and we’ll explore some of the most impressive benefits of ginger.

1. Nausea

Ginger is perhaps best known for its ability to fight nausea. Whether you are suffering from travel sickness, morning sickness or vertigo, ginger may be able to help.

In one study looking ag 1,278 pregnant women, ginger was found to be effective in minimizing the effects of nausea with very minimal risk of side effects. Another study found that the same effect could be beneficial for those suffering from chemotherapy.

Other studies suggest that ginger will help to ease and reduce vomiting, but not nausea itself. Whatever the case, this will surely be highly welcome news for a large number of people. And this is also one of the uses that date back furthest – ginger was used to treat stomach pain, aches, nausea, and diarrhea in Asia and elsewhere.
