Ginger has been known to bless mankind’s health for thousands of years in the following ways for:

I.  Stomach Issues:

Ginger has been known as a powerful digestive aid for thousands of years. Ginger contains chemicals which work in our stomachs and intestines to relax our intestinal tract and relieve nausea. Ginger can be useful for calming nearly any GI issue, from vomiting to diarrhea. For its stomach-soothing properties try sipping on a ginger-infused tea, chewing on a thin slice of fresh ginger, or drinking some good old fashioned ginger ale.

II.  Burns and Sunburns:

Ginger can be used internally and externally. Ever had a stinging sunburn? The freshly squeezed juice of the ginger plant can work to help ease the burn and help skin heal quicker. The same goes for accidental burns from cooking.

III.  Sore Throat and Heartburn:

Ginger is wonderful on its own, but when you combine it with raw honey, it’s an almost unbeatable natural remedy for throat pain and heartburn. The cool, soothing honey can feel so good coating your sore throat.

Try this easy tea to bring relief: boil a few cups of water on the stove. For each cup of water, add a slice of fresh ginger while boiling. Let the liquid boil for a few minutes, then transfer it to a mug. As it cools, mix in one to two teaspoons of honey—raw and natural is best. If you would like, you can add a little lemon juice for extra flavor. The tea not only tastes great, but will soothe your aching throat in a hurry.

IV.  Motion Sickness:

Ginger’s effectiveness for relieving motion sickness has been proven as a fact. It has been proven to be just as good or better than the much used drug Dramamine. Motion sickness comes from some kind of interaction between the stomach and the brain. Scientists don’t exactly know what it is about ginger that helps motion sickness, but they think it works on both the stomach and the brain to bring relief.

If you are going on a trip by boat, plane or car, try taking two to three ginger capsules about 30 minutes before you start your trip. Take two or three more capsules every few hours while you’re in motion.

V.  Arthritis and Inflammation:

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have natural help to ease headaches and backaches? Well, ginger might be just the thing to relieve your minor aches and pains. Ginger has some natural properties that hinder the formation of inflammatory compounds. This action is like the effects of store-bought anti-inflammatories, such as aspirin or ibuprofen. This means eating or drinking ginger is a wonderful answer for treating all pain caused by inflammation, such as arthritis, headaches and even menstrual cramps.

Ginger helps by slowing the biochemical pathways in the body associated with inflammation, and gently stimulating circulation. This action by ginger reduces pain.

VI.  Treating Skin Blemishes and Dark Spots:

The sin is actually an organ, as you probably already know. A lot of people get help for their skin troubles by using ginger infused in a mask.

Try this: combine finely grated or powdered ginger with a small amount of raw honey and mix well. Apply as a mask all over your face, and let it sit for about five minutes before rinsing with warm water. Use this mask several times a week for reduced redness and a more even, beautiful skin tone.
