Have you ever wondered why your mom gave you a ginger ale when you had a tummy ache? Well the reason is because Ginger ale (the real stuff, not the artificially flavored stuff) contains Ginger, and Ginger is one of the most curative herbs on the planet. It is well known for it’s antiemetic properties, but it is also a great herbal antibiotic as well.
Ginger has long been used in warm climates as well as in most of Southeast Asia, as it has a natural antibiotic affect against food borne illness, Shigella, E.coli, and Salmonella, which are three diseases that have been rampant in commercial food production in recent years. One of the most high profile cases of Salmonella recently is the case of the Peanut Corporation of America, which thanks to their toxic practices sickened more than 500 people in 43 states, and caused several deaths.
In addition to curing nausea, did you know that Ginger is also excellent for treating colds and the flu? It is particularly effective in children, and it’s safe to consume in large amounts, and it tastes good. Imagine being able to hand your sick child some candied ginger and they think they are getting a treat, when in fact they are taking medicine. You’d never have to fight them taking the prescription stuff again.
Ginger is an effective antitussive (anti-cough). It can rival even the prescription medicine with codeine that makes kids groggy. It is also a great antihistamine and expectorant, which will thin mucus secretions, making it easier to move it out of the system. Another of Ginger’s actions is that it relieves pain, reduces inflammation and encourages sweating, which helps to lower fevers.
While not a problem in the US, malaria and dysentery can be devastating and even deadly in some parts of the world. But thanks to Ginger’s powers the chills and fever associated with malaria and the diarrhea and vomiting associated with dysentery.
Ginger can be consumed in a number of ways including eaten candied or pickled (usually served with sushi) made into a tea from both the fresh and dried root, taken in capsule form, or as a tincture. Of course you can add it to cooking as well. Large amount of Ginger should be avoided if pregnant, but otherwise eat up, drink up and be healthy.
