9. Anti-Inflammatory
In a similar way to turmeric, ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that may relieve the symptoms of arthritis, most notably for rheumatoid arthritis.
Although there are over 100 different diagnoses that come under the umbrella of arthritis, the common thread that weaves through them, and in fact through many diseases, is that of chronic pain and inflammation.
In Denmark, two clinical trials have shown the use of ginger reversing many of the patients’ arthritic symptoms, with no adverse side effects. A fantastic observation, considering the plethora of health repercussions often associated with prescribed medicines for the disease.
