King Henry VIII used it to ward off the plague. Now , personally I'm not too sure if it really fought off the plague but Ginger does have many benefits. For one , it can definitely fight off motion sickness. In fact , more so than dramamine.
In Denmark researchers have discovered that ginger can block the effects of prostaglandins. These are substances that cause inflammation of the blood vessels in the brain , which lead to migraines.
A researcher at Cornell University discovered that ginger has an effect on blood clots that is similar to that of aspirin. By the same token , it appears that High Cholesterol levels are lowered using the same active ingredient.
Long used in Eastern medicine to treat musculoskeletal problems , ginger contains a complex of compounds that researchers suspect helps fight and ease inflammation in several ways.
So there you have it! Now you have a reason to enjoy ginger more. And I don't mean the girl from Gilligan's Island. Although Mary Anne was
always the hotter one.
