Ginger according to Ayurveda

 

Ginger is recognised as a natural healer within Ayurveda, with a vast array of health benefits and healing properties. Ginger stimulates good digestion within the body, improves circulation, and aids the transportation of nutrients throughout the body

A natural healer

Sharp and pungent, fresh ginger clears away the damp clouds of winter, invigorating your whole system as it lifts your mood and boosts enthusiasm. The properties of ginger help you to say goodbye to fatigue and depression and hello to energising, healing properties. 

Within Ayurveda, traditional texts recommend and praise both the therapeutic and healing properties of the herb. There is a sutra (verse) that suggests everyone, of all doshas, should eat fresh ginger before meals to aide digestion. Ginger creates digestive fire within the body and kick starts the metabolic process.

The benefits and health properties are also recognised in modern science and research.  In contemporary research, ginger is hailed for its effectiveness for helping motion sickness, improving joint health and for clearing the micro circulatory channels to facilitate good absorption of nutrients.
