Ginger

ginger is a multi-faceted remedy with at least six more healing effects:

1. It reduces pain and inflammation, making it valuable in managing arthritis, headaches, and menstrual cramps.
2. It has a warming effect and stimulates circulation.
3. It inhibits rhinovirus, which can cause the common cold.
4. It inhibits such bacteria as Salmonella, which cause diarrhea, and protozoa, such as Trichomonas.
5. In the intestinal tract, it reduces gas and painful spasms.
6. It may prevent stomach ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

You can take ginger in whatever form appeals to you.

If you’re pregnant: Try it in tea, soup, or capsules — up to 250 milli­grams four times a day. If you chose a carbonated beverage, make sure it’s made from real ginger. You can also nib­ble crystallized ginger.
