Ginger Root reseach and Medical Uses:
New Research!: Ginger root was recently the subject of a startling new research report presented at The American Association for Cancer research conference in Phoenix. In the study, ginger actually suppressed cancer cells suggesting that the herb was able to fuel apoptosis or the death of the cancer cells. Ginger has been shown to work against skin, ovarian, colon and Breast cancer. But it had not been shown to halt the progression of cancer until now.
Ginger is one of the most interesting and useful herbal health tonics, and one of the easiest to use. It is a great flavoring for many foods including Ginger Ale and ginger snaps, and is used throughout the world. Scientists have isolated several compounds in Ginger that have specific effects against the most common family of cold viruses. It is anti-inflammatory, improving arthritis, and it is commonly used in Asia to prevent migrains and vertigo.
Ginger is a general health tonic that improves circulation, aids with digestive problems and has anti-inflammatory properties possibly more powerful than over the counter pain relievers without the side effects. It is helpful in the treatment of anything from angina and fatigue, to depression and tendinitus. One of the more promising uses is in treating nausea and motion sickness.
If you have ever experienced nausea from travel in any form there is one thing that you know for sure; you never want to experience it again. Ginger has been found to be more effective than the familiar over-the-counter remedies without the side effects. Chinese sailors chewed ginger root for sea sickness thousands of years ago.
