Ginger contains more than 400 natural compounds, many of which have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. This plant is not only used as a spice but also has herbal properties that help reduce the symptoms of certain diseases.
A study published on the medical research site ScienceDirect shows that ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Meanwhile, prolonged inflammation will increase the risk of a series of health problems such as diabetes, digestive problems, cancer, autoimmune disorders, lung disease, cardiovascular disease and neurological problems, according to the health site Verywell Health (USA).
Ginger contains natural substances with anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce bloating and muscle pain.
Diseases that can have their symptoms relieved by using ginger include:
Flatulence
Ginger may help improve digestion by helping food move through the stomach more quickly, while also reducing symptoms such as bloating and constipation. A study published in the journal Cureus found that ginger supplements may help improve symptoms of chronic indigestion.
Sad
Another significant benefit of ginger for the digestive system is reducing nausea. Some research evidence suggests that ginger can help improve morning sickness in pregnant women and reduce nausea in people undergoing chemotherapy or after surgery. This benefit is due to the compounds gingerol and shogaol in ginger.
Weak immune system
Ginger has antibacterial properties that help boost immunity. Research published in the Journal of Microbiology and Antimicrobials found that when tested on bacteria that cause strep throat, ginger had even stronger antibacterial properties than some antibiotics.
Muscle pain
Ginger also has the effect of reducing pain and soothing muscle aches. Muscle aches are very common when exercising . Research in the journal Phytotherapy Research found that taking just 4 grams of ginger as a dietary supplement every day for 5 consecutive days can effectively reduce muscle aches. In addition, ginger also has the effect of reducing menstrual cramps in women.
Although ginger is good for health, some compounds in ginger can interact with some blood thinners, aspirin and some other drugs. Therefore, people with chronic diseases who have to take regular medication should consult their doctor before using ginger, according to Verywell Health .
