Ginger

Zingiber officinale | Digestion · Nausea Comfort · Anti-Inflammatory · Immune Support

Three thousand years ago, Sanskrit physicians called it "vishwabheshaj" — the universal medicine. Across ancient India, China, Greece, Rome, and the Arab world, healers arrived at the same conclusion about ginger independently, across thousands of miles and thousands of years.

Here's what makes ginger pharmacologically distinct: its active compounds inhibit COX-1, COX-2, and 5-LOX simultaneously, supporting the body's normal inflammatory response through multiple pathways.* And dried ginger is actually more potent than fresh for this purpose — drying converts gingerols into shogaols, significantly more powerful compounds.*

Why Ginger?

• Meta-analysis of 12 RCTs: ginger significantly more effective than placebo for pregnancy-related nausea*
• Meta-analysis of 7 trials: ginger significantly supports comfort with occasional nausea*
• Meta-analysis: ginger may support joint comfort in clinical research*
• Clinical trials show ginger may support comfort during monthly cycles*
• Meta-analysis of 10 RCTs: ginger may support blood sugar levels already within normal range*
• Inhibits COX-1, COX-2, and 5-LOX simultaneously — broad support for the body's normal inflammatory response*
• May support healthy digestive function, gastric motility, and occasional digestive discomfort*
• May support healthy cholesterol, triglycerides, and cardiovascular function*
• May support healthy immune system function*

How to Brew

1. Simmer 1–2 tsp dried ginger root in 8–10oz of water for 10–15 minutes
2. Add lemon and honey to taste
3. Drink 1–3 cups daily — warm and slowly for nausea, after meals for digestive support

Traditional tip: Dried ginger is more potent than fresh for anti-inflammatory purposes — the drying process converts gingerols into shogaols, which are significantly stronger. Your dried ginger tea isn't a compromise, it's an upgrade.
