Ginger Extract

Ginger has been shown to have a range of medicinal benefits. It has been found
to be more effective than drugs at treating motion sickness and nausea. Ginger is useful in alleviating
gastrointestinal distress, including nausea of pregnancy (powder). Recent studies have found that Ginger lowers
blood cholesterol and reduces blood clotting.
The pungent compound, gingerol has been found to have a structure similar to the well-known
anticoagulant, aspirin, which may explain the similar effect that the two compounds have on
prostaglandins.
Ginger has been shown to have significant effects against inflammation and
platelet aggregation, important in cardiovascular health and arthritic conditions. Some researchers speculate that
certain constituents of ginger might inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX), important in pain relief. Ginger has been shown
to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, decrease swelling and morning stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis. Ginger is
also a very effective antibiotic agent and strong anti-oxidant.
Ginger also has an antipyretic (reduces fever) and antitussive (reduces cough) effect and is a
peripheral circulatory stimulant. Ginger constituents such as shogaols and galanolactone seem to act on serotonin
receptors. Galanolactone seems to act primarily on 5-HT3 receptors in the small bowel, receptors affected by some
prescription antiemetics such as ondansetron (Zofran). There is preliminary evidence that ginger may also have
hypoglycemic, hypotensive or hypertensive and hypocholesterolemic effects.
May be beneficial in Epilepsy, Indigestion, Irritable bowel syndrome, Morning
sickness, Osteoarthritis, Vertigo, Atherosclerosis, gastro intestinal disorders, Hay fever, HIV support, Low back
