Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ginger (Zinziber officinalis): Ginger has been a folk remedy for arthritis, dyspepsia, flatulence, colic, painful stomach conditions and nausea. It is a wonderful digestive and anti-inflammatory, as it contains protease, a plant enzyme, as well as a blood thinner. Enzymes are known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger also has anti-oxidant and anti-platelet aggregation activities, and it increases circulation. Chewing ginger before meals helps to digest the food. According to Ayurvedic principles, indigestion is the first cause of inflammatory diseases. The recommended dosage of ginger is 2-10 grams with meals, but those on blood thinning medication should not take more than 2 grams per day.
