Herbal Supplement
Digestive System
Classification: Aromatic herb
Ginger has been cultivated for thousands of years in China and India, and is still most widely cultivated in the East. It was brought to America in the 16th century by the Spanish. At one point, it was second only to pepper as the most common English spice. Ginger is very popular in the food industry as an additive in ginger-ale, candies, pastries and cakes. Its uses, of course, are not confined to food preparation.
It is written about in many ancient Chinese herbals, and is an ingredient in as many as half of all Chinese herbal combinations. The Chinese use it to buffer the effects of stronger herbs and also drink it regularly as a tea. Ginger nutritionally supports the digestive process.
The root has a strong, sweet scent. It contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, ash, calcium, phosphorous, iron, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, ascorbic acid, silicon, magnesium and manganese.
Much media attention has been given to ginger’s effectiveness in preventing nausea due to stomach upset or motion sickness.
