One of the world’s most potent disease-fighting spices, ginger, is easy to grow and comes in a variety of over a thousand different species. Medicinal ginger most often used is Zingiber officinale.
The Real Food Channel reminds us, “Pharmaceutical companies would have you believe that their expensive and potentially toxic medications are the way to treat nausea, cold and flu symptoms, migraines, and other illnesses.” But, Ken McCarthy asks, “What if a common food, easily available and inexpensive, could treat all of these conditions and more?”
In the video below, Dr Akilah El presents “The Health Benefits of Ginger,” which has been used for over 5,000 years as a natural remedy for a host of ailments, including:
- Relieves nausea;
- Eases arthritis;
- Aides digestion;
- Reduces respiratory problems;
- Prevents motion sickness;
- Fights ovarian cancer;
- Lowers cholesterol;
- Prevents migraines;
- Prevents blood clots; and
- Treats cold and flu symptoms.
And, it’s easy to grow indoors or out. Ginger loves it hot, humid and shady. Think of its natural environment – it’s an understory forb in lowland tropical forests. That landscape is soggy and well drained. In a pot, the soil should be damp and well drained.
Different species can grow from 3-15 feet in height and about 3 ft. wide. While its flowers are exotic, it is the underground stem, the rhizome, that packs the medicinal and flavorful punch.
