Ginger for Pain Relief

Ginger is an incredibly useful and versatile herb. This new pain study adds to the

list of ginger’s uses.

Thirty men and women with a history of joint and muscle pain as well as

inflammation were given either ginger or a placebo to see what effect they would

have on pain after working out.

Ginger reduced pain, stiffness and functional capacity as well as leading to better

total scores on the WOMAC osteoarthritis index.

There was also evidence that they had less discomfort while sleeping and when

going up and down stairs.
