THE MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF GINGER

Since ancient times, already in the 5th century, it was used in food of the
sailors to avoid seasickness at sea and scurvy. And in the
Hindu medicine was used to cure muscular diseases and
rheumatic.
Ginger is known to stimulate gastric juices and provide effects
for relief from flu and cough. This root is a medicinal herb used
mainly for the treatment of Dyspepsia (discomfort
after the meal). This includes symptoms of bloating, acidity,
flatulence and nausea.
Ginger has been resonated as the 'universal medicine' for 5000 years.
for the Eastern ancestors of China and India and highly sought after later
by the spice merchants.
Today, ginger remains a component of more than 50% of the
traditional herbal medicines, and has been used for centuries
to treat nausea, indigestion, fever, infection, and to promote
vitality and longevity.
It is asserted that ginger can save thousands of lives and billions of
dollars on lost work days. The world's favorite species
it has a reputation for having qualities that can prevent attacks
from the heart, arthritis pain, intestinal pain, prevent the flu
skin cancer, and helps with weight loss.

for centuries as a digestive aid. The enzymes of

pregnant women.
The researchers from the dermatological university of Case Western
University found that ginger oil helps to prevent the
skin cancer in preliminary studies. The researchers covered
mice in ginger oil and then exposed them to the chemicals that
they produce cancer. Ginger inhibited the growth of skin cancer in
the mice. The researchers will continue in this research which
it is of great interest for Queensland, which is the capital of skin cancer
world.
Beliefs in the medicinal properties of ginger existed in
Hindu ancestors and Eastern cultures where ginger was used alone or
in herbal remedies.
This practice continues today in many areas of the world, including
Africa, Brazil, China, Fiji, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Sudan and
Thailand. Ginger was introduced to Europe and other areas by the
Danish, Portuguese, Arab, and Spanish explorers and traders
in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Taking ginger as an antiemetic has been researched. When 16

No adverse effects were noted.

yAs an anti-inflammatory (Rheumatism).

A Danish study has found that the consumption of ginger

significantly relieves the pain associated with arthritis
rheumatic, osteoporosis, and patients with muscle disorders.
In a study, 56 patients (28 rheumatoid, 18 osteo, 10 muscular) were
studied over periods of 3 months to 2 and a half years. Three quarters of
the 46 patients with arthritis experienced "varying levels of relief in the
pain and swelling." All patients with muscle discomfort.

results, where patients reported that ginger 'produced better

its anti-inflammatory or thermoregulating effects, ginger compensates for it
with an absence of side effects and alternatives.
Extensive laboratory trials frequently involving the use
of rats, they have allowed the identification of approximately 6
anti-ulcer components contained in ginger.

yGinger and the circulatory system

It has been found that ginger is beneficial for reduction of

platelet aggregation which leads to coronary artery disease,
as long as it does not affect the lipids and blood sugar. People
healthy, patients with C.A.D (coronary artery disease) and
insulin-dependent sufferers were all subjects of a
Hindu experiment, which found that a simple dose of 10 g of
powdered ginger, 'platelet aggregation significantly reduced.' in
patients with C.A.D.
Rats have been clinically studied with the introduction of the
ginger after having elevated cholesterol levels
artificially. Researchers say "The inclusion of 1% of
cholesterol in the diet of rats increased serum cholesterol
significantly, but the addition of fresh ginger along with the
cholesterol significantly reduced this increase. Ginger was shown
"is antihypercholesterolemic" It was also reported that ginger inhibited
the biosynthesis of cholesterol in the liver of rats.
yAntioxidant

Ginger contains antioxidant properties that are commonly used by

antioxidant chemicals. "Ginger in a countless number of studies is
rated to have an inhibitor-free radical index perhaps much more
greater than commercial antioxidant preservatives BHA and BHT.

Ginger has been found to inhibit lipid peroxidation in the

liver microsomes of rats. In an American study 21
components (including the components related to the oil of
ginger) were separated from the ginger. It was found that "most of
the isolated components demonstrated an antioxidant effect that the

the antioxidant of ginger extract was studied more with fillets of
fresh pork, precooked and frozen. The shelf life of all
products determined by the TBA value were improved due to the
use of ginger extract.
OTHER PROPERTIES OF GINGER
Researchers have found that ginger extract effects
anti-tumors on the skin when applied directly to the skin of the mice.
In addition, it has been found that ginger oil inhibits the promoter
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) tumor activator.
It has been found that ginger treatment has been used for the
migraine, where it is proposed that pain relief can occur without the use of
of the standard treatments that produce side effects. The
ginger has also been tested in trials with 30 women who
they were suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, which is a nausea
severe that can complicate a large proportion of pregnancies. After
the relief was found to be 'significantly greater' with the
ginger powder capsule treatment.
Ginger has been found to be effective against growth of
both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia
Coli, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and
Streptococcus viridans. A Japanese study from 1990 demonstrated that the
ginger oil and the components of ginger could kill the larva

millions of people around the world.
In addition to the antiemetic properties of ginger, there are many others.
