For centuries, Ginger has been used to aid digestion. Both the ancient Greeks and the English used it in various ways to help soothe upset stomachs. Scientific research has confirmed Ginger’s ability to help digestion. One study in Germany showed that it increased the digestive movements, helped to fight off harmful bacteria and aid in the healing ulcers.

Ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties, which have demonstrated an ability to help those suffering from osteoarthritis. Studies also confirm Ginger’s ability to help prevent nausea and vomiting related to pregnancy.
