Ginger’s use as a remedy for digestive distress, colds and viruses dates back at least 5,000 years to ancient Chinese practitioners. For centuries, the Ayurvedic tradition in India and Tibet has made use of ginger to treat inflammatory joint diseases including arthritis and rheumatism. Many of these time-tested therapeutic values have been borne out by modern Western science.The Chinese first prescribed ginger for digestive maladies as early as 3,000 B.C. Today, controlled studies indicate that ginger may be as effective as or superior to pharmaceuticals in reducing nausea and vomiting due to motion sickness, surgery, pregnancy or illness. Compared to over-the-counter motion sickness drugs, ginger may provide greater benefit for the multiple symptoms of dizziness, cold sweating and upset stomach.
