Ginger and Turmeric Benefits

Ginger and Turmeric have been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, ranging from migraine to chronic inflammation and fatigue. Ginger and turmeric are two of the most extensively studied ingredients in herbal medicine. Both have also been used to help relieve pain, decrease nausea, and enhance immune function to help protect against illness and infection.

What are Ginger and Turmeric?

Ginger and turmeric are two types of flowering plants that are widely used in natural medicine.

Ginger

Ginger, or Zingiber officinale, originated in Southeast Asia and has long been used as a natural remedy for various health conditions.

  • Its medicinal properties are mostly due to the presence of phenolic compounds, including gingerol, a chemical thought to possess potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Turmeric

Turmeric, also known as Curcuma longa, belongs to the same family of plants and is often used as a spice in Indian cooking.

  • It contains the chemical compound curcumin, which has been shown to aid in treating and preventing several chronic conditions.

Reduce inflammation

Ginger and turmeric have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which could help decrease pain and protect against disease.

–       Chronic inflammation is thought to play a central role in the development of conditions like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

–       It can also worsen symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Support immune function

Both turmeric and ginger can also decrease levels of inflammation, which can help improve immune function.

–       Many people take turmeric and ginger at the first sign of sickness, hoping to enhance immune function and sidestep cold or flu symptoms.

–       Some research shows that ginger, in particular, may possess powerful immune-boosting properties.

Black Ginger

Other than White and Yellow Ginger, have you ever heard of Black Ginger? Black Ginger, also known as Kaempferia parviflora, is a medicinal plant that is native to Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Traditionally used as food and a folk medicine for more than 1000 years in Thailand.
