The main ingredient in our recipe, which will reduce inflammation, migraines and pain, is ginger.
Ginger is a favorite among health conscious individuals and families for good reason. Not only is it packed with powerful antioxidants, such as gingerols, beta-carotene, capsaicin, caffeic acid, curcumin and salicylate, but it also helps to provide and satiate our bodies need for certain vitamins and nutrients, which include potassium, calcium, iron and vitamin B6.
For more detailed insight into the medicinal uses for ginger and its overall potential benefits, we have compiled the following information for you;
Digestive problems
Ginger is a perennial tropical plant with a thick tuberous rhizome. The rhizomes contain something called phenolic compounds which relieve digestive problems and irritation. They also reduce bloating and increase the production of saliva and bile, which helps to make food pass efficiently, fluidly and comfortably. It is also an effective remedy for constipation and ultimately helps to balance and regulate the entire digestive system.
