Symptoms: Poor Digestion, Diarrhea, Nausea/Vomiting

A product of India, ginger is considered the “Universal Medicine” by India's Ayurvedic herbalists. Ginger has also been used for centuries in Chinese herbal medicine for the positive effects it has on the body, as well as to enhance herbal combinations. Ginger's sweet taste has made it a popular herb, and it is found today in ginger ale, breads, candies, and tonics.

Ginger is most commonly known for its effectiveness as a digestive aid. By increasing the production of digestive fluids and saliva, ginger helps relieve indigestion, gas pains, diarrhea and stomach cramping. Ginger is also used to treat nausea related to both motion sickness and morning sickness.

Ginger's anti-inflammatory properties help relieve pain and reduce inflammation associated with arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms.

Other uses for ginger include the treatment of asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory problems by loosening and expelling phlegm from the lungs. Ginger may also be used to help break fevers by warming the body and increasing perspiration.

Take one capsule with meals twice a day.
