Ginger Health: Goodness of Ginger Herb
from: Kevin PedersonRevered in the Orient for its powerful healing qualities and its
culinary uses, Ginger has been in use since ages. A perennial
herb, ginger is a greenish yellow rhizome. The botanical name of
the spice is Zingiber Officinale. Ginger is been used
extensively in the Orient; its benefits covering a spectrum so
wide, that it includes the medicinal, culinary as well as
aromatherapy fields. A pungent and flavorful spice, ginger is
one of the most widely used spices in the East.
Ginger is known to be beneficial to the body in a number of
ways. Ginger can be used in its raw as well as dried form. Raw
ginger is thermogenic, anti-flatulent, appetiser, digestive and
a powerful laxative.
Dried ginger is thermogenic, appetizer, laxative, expectorant,
stimulant and effective to cure stomach disorders. Dried and
ground ginger is used to cure cold, cough, cholera, nausea ad
vomiting, inflammations, diarrhea, colic, flatulence, anorexia,
asthma and headaches.
Ginger has extensive uses in aromatherapy as well. Ginger yields
an essential oil that is steam distilled from the unpeeled,
dried and ground root. Ginger oil is used in combination with
sandalwood, cedar wood and patchouli, which renders a
woody-spicy scent to the mixture.
The uses of ginger as a digestive aid can be largely attributed
to the presence of gingerols and shogaols, which help neutralise
stomach acids, enhance the secretion of digestive juices and
tone the muscles of the digestive tract.
The active ingredient in ginger is terpenes and an oleoresin,
which is called ginger oil. These active agents are responsible
for its antiseptic qualities, lymph-cleansing,
circulation-stimulating and mild constipation relief. Research
has shown that ginger lowers blood cholesterol by reducing
cholesterol absorption in the blood and liver.
