GINGER

(NaturalNews) Scientific research shows that ginger offers a variety of therapeutic properties. One of the herb's many uses includes its ability to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal distress, including seasickness.

Previous studies show that ginger actually treats motion sickness better than some over-the-counter prescription drugs. The herb's ability to relieve nausea, dizziness, vomiting and cold sweating makes it a popular choice for treating the upset stomach frequently experienced by expectant mothers.

This flowering plant also contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols, a substance that can help reduce pain in people with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, even improving their mobility when consumed regularly.

Benefit of ginger against CANCER
Researchers from the University of Minnesota's Hormel Institute found that gingerols may inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer cells, after providing the herb to mice specifically bred to lack an immune system. Scientists fed the mice half a milligram of gingerol three times a week before injecting them with human colorectal cancer cells.

After 15 days, 13 tumors were found in the control group and four tumors were identified in the group that received gingerol. By day 38, one mouse in the gingerol-receiving group still had no measurable tumors; however, all 49 of the control group mice had to be euthanized because their tumors had grown to one cubic centimeter.
