Ginger has been used for thousands of years as a medicine for different ailments through time. The one of many health benefits of ginger that I’m going to talk about is gingers awesome ability to decrease inflammation in the human body. Chronic Inflammation is a constant struggle that many people suffer with in life, in many different places in the body. Ginger has the ability to decrease inflammation with the compounds that it has within. Gingerol is the main bio active compound in the ginger root. It is filled with strong antioxidant and anti – inflammation properties.
Ginger can help with osteoarthritis, muscle fatigue and can work to decrease inflammation in the brain which can have a negative effect on the brain when it is being bombarded with chronic inflammation.
