The essence of ginger.
Ginger offers a variety of therapeutic effects which no modern medication can rival. Unfortunately, due to a monopolistic health-care system and a historically biased regulatory environment, full awareness of ginger's value has been limited.
Ginger is the most popular of hundreds of members of the Zingiberaceae family. To be botanically correct, ginger is a rhizome and not a root. Ginger is available in many varieties, from mild to spicy, and requires tropical conditions and fertile soil for optimal growth.
Over a period of 5,000 years, ginger traveled from Southeast Asia to the New World. Considered a treasure by some of the great figures of history, its ancient trade helped shape nations and insure its worldwide cultivation.
The observed effects of ginger are the result of the interactions of more than 400 constituents which can be broken down into four major classes: taste, fragrance, nutrients and synergists. While most of the therapeutic focus is on the pungent taste compounds, called gingerols and shogaols, ginger's protein-digesting enzyme and antioxidant are also key elements.
Observed effects like anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, antimicrobial and digestive benefit can all result from one principal action-i.e., enzyme action. An observed effect, such as an anti-inflammatory one, can also have a variety of principal actions at its root: enzyme, eicosanoid balance and antioxidant.
The dynamics of eicosanoids represent a key to understanding the diversity of ginger's actions. Eicosanoids are physiologically active compounds that the body synthesizes from essential fatty acids. When these elements become imbalanced, a wide variety of disease conditions can evolve.
The pharmaceutical industry has attempted to modulate eicosanoids to treat a host of disease conditions but has essentially failed because of serious side effects.
Ginger naturally helps balance these vitally important eicosanoids without side effects.
Over millennia, millions of people have enjoyed the benefits of ginger. For spiritual upliftment, digestive comfort and strength, stimulation and relief from infumity, ginger has been heralded as the herb of choice and has been included in most of traditional Eastern formulas. Ginger is quite aptly described in the traditional language of Sanskrit as vishwabhesaj, the universal medicine.
In more recent times, in the early part of the twentieth century, more than 25,000 U.S. physicians) the Eclectics, lauded the pain-relieving and cold-fighting values of ginger.
Ginger was used historically in different regions of the world for the same basic therapeutic applications. These include: analgesic, anti-arthritic, wound healing, anthelmintic, anti-ulcer, stimulant and aphrodisiac properties, plus treatment of a variety of respiratory, reproductive and digestive complaints.
Ginger is a preventive treatment for critical cardiovascular disorders. Like aspirin, ginger holds the potential to prevent thousands of deaths from heart attacks and strokes as well as colon cancer. But unlike aspirin, it will have no side effects.
The anti-ulcer effect of ginger is complemented by a host of other important digestive values which include relief of both diarrhea and constipation, liver protection and pro-biotic support.
The anti-nausea effect of ginger is well documented. From nausea resulting from chemotherapy and ocean travel to pregnancy and gynecological surgery, ginger is the natural treatment of choice.
Ginger, the bioavailability herb, assists the digestion of other nutrients and is a recommended addition to natural supplement regimes.
Parasites pose a much greater threat to the industrialized world than is generally recognized. Ginger exhibits a wide range of anti-parasitic activities.
The historic observation that ginger is a cold remedy is a result of a combination of principal actions including eicosanoid balance, pro-biotic support, antitoxic and cytoprotective influences.
Ginger possesses a significant anti-mutagenic potential against such powerful carcinogens as benzopyrene and the most toxic burned byproducts of the amino acid tryptophan. Research also warrants further investigation into ginger's anticancer properties and its role in a cancer-treatment program.
Ginger has been shown to affect positively parameters of health such as cholesterol and blood sugar and balance numerous body systems including the circulatory, respiratory and reproductive systems. Ginger's beneficial effects have also been demonstrated in external treatments with dramatic results.
Ginger is a remarkably safe herb. No modern pharmaceutical can compete with its range of therapeutic properties and absence of adverse side effects. Care and moderation should be exercised when using ginger during pregnancy and before surgery. Up to 1 gram daily of the powdered herb should be a safe preventive dosage for the general population. In all cases, introduction of ginger into the diet should be gradual.
The effectiveness of ginger will be dependent upon the quality of the rhizome. Since commercial ginger is subject to many potential levels of chemical contamination, organically certified products are recommended.
Both fresh and dry ginger are recommended forms for supplementation. There will be different properties gained from each. Ginger is commercially available in many forms including fresh, dried, syrup, capsules and extract
