A mildly spicy monocotyledon, ginger is commonly known for its anti-nausea properties and immune enhancing effects, and has been used for over 2500 years as a herbal medicine.

Ginger helps to soothe the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, making it particularly useful for nausea, vomiting, colic, and flatulence. 

As a herbal expectorant and anti-inflammatory, it is also helpful for relieving symptoms of colds and coughs.

Being a peripheral circulatory stimulant, ginger has warming properties and is a great herb for those prone to cold hands and feet.
