Ginger – The Inflammation Buster
Feeling bloated, inflamed, or dealing with aches and pains? You might just need a little ginger magic.
Ginger has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine — and for good reason. Modern functional medicine shows that ginger helps reduce systemic inflammation, soothe the digestive tract, support immune function, and even ease menstrual pain or motion sickness.
🔍 What makes ginger so powerful?
Its active compounds — gingerols and shogaols — are natural anti-inflammatories and antioxidants that help reduce swelling and oxidative stress.
✅ Try it:
• Slice fresh ginger into hot water with lemon for a morning gut reset
• Grate into stir fries, curries, or soups
• Juice it with carrots + turmeric for a potent anti-inflammatory boost
🌱 A little goes a long way. Use ginger regularly and you may notice less pain, better digestion, and a more balanced body.
