Ginger root has been used for centuries as a spice and for medicinal purposes. The first time I tried ginger, I wasn’t too crazy about it. I loved the scent but the flavor, not so much.

Over the years, I’ve grown to really love ginger. I’ll put a few small pieces in my salad or add some to my veggie juices. I even make fresh ginger tea which is very aromatic and quite delicious (recipe below). I’ve learned and personally experienced the healing powers of ginger and I can say in all honesty, it’s truly a Superfood.

Ginger has many benefits and can help the body heal from a number of ailments naturally including:

1. Aids in Digestion
2. Regulates Blood Sugar
3. Reduces Inflammation
4. Lowers Blood Pressure
5. Helps with Nausea
6. Antibacterial Properties
7. Reduces Menstrual Pain
8. Aids in Reducing LDL Cholesterol
9. Anti-Cancer Properties
10. Aids Weight Loss

Before making any changes to your healthcare regime, always check with your doctor/health practitioner to make sure it’s right for you.
