Description:


Ginger , Zingiber officinale Roscoe, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Zingiberaceae family grown for its edible rhizome (underground stem) which is widely used as a spice. Native to India and Malaysia, this plant can reach one meter and fifty in height and is characterized by its branched rhizome, light brown on the outside and yellow on the inside, to which the lanceolate leaves cling. The flowers are a color between yellow and green while the seeds of the fruit are contained in a casing divided into three parts.

Ginger, also known as Ginger , has a hint of lemon and lemongrass. In the language of flowers and plants, ginger symbolizes strength.

Ginger, whether grated or ground into powder, has a delicious and slightly spicy flavour. We are talking about a very versatile spice: drinks, sweets and biscuits, infusions and natural medicines can be produced with it.

Thanks to its properties, ginger is traditionally used as a digestive and bitter-tonic . Stimulant of the immune system, ginger has been used for thousands of years by Asian populations to fight colds and fevers. Recent studies have shown that ginger, thanks to its strong anti-inflammatory properties, relieves headaches, effectively reduces joint and muscle pain, rheumatism, gastritis and relieves inflammation of the stomach and esophagus.

Among the beneficial effects of ginger...:

- Digestion

It is a remedy against dyspepsia, as it is capable of acting effectively on the entire digestive system, in cases of lack of appetite or slow and laborious digestion, flatulence, meteorism and intestinal swelling due to its carminative properties.

The phenolic compounds in ginger help relieve gastrointestinal (GI) irritation, stimulate saliva and bile production, and suppress gastric contractions as food and liquids move through the gastrointestinal tract.

At the same time, ginger appears to have beneficial effects on the pancreatic enzymes trypsin and lipase and increase motility through the digestive tract. This suggests that ginger could help prevent colon cancer and constipation.

Ginger is also found to be a common remedy for nausea. It is believed that chewing raw ginger or drinking ginger tea is ideal for solving this problem. What has just been said can also be associated with pregnancy nausea.

- Cold and flu remedy

During cold weather, drinking ginger tea is a good way to stay warm. It is diaphoretic, meaning it promotes sweating, working to heat the body from the inside.

This is a soothing natural remedy for cold or flu.

- Reduction of pain

One study found that daily ginger supplementation reduced exercise-induced muscle soreness by 25 percent.

Ginger has also been found to reduce the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, the severe pain that some women experience during a menstrual cycle.

This spice has been used for centuries to reduce inflammation and treat inflammatory conditions. Ginger is "modestly effective and reasonably safe" for treating inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.

- Cardiovascular health

Other uses include reducing cholesterol, reducing the risk of blood clotting, and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.

For many, dried or fresh ginger also has aphrodisiac properties.
