3. Drink Ginger Tea
We recommend drinking green tea to relieve the symptoms of inflammation and swelling associated with ganglion cysts. However, nothing is stopping you from supercharging this remedy with the addition of ginger to the tea.
Ginger has potent anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that help to soothe pain and discomfort associated with large ganglion cysts. You can purchase ginger tea in ready-made tea bags, or you can buy the fresh root and grate it into your diffuser.
Ginger gets its potent medicinal properties from the gingerol polyphenols found in the root of the plant. These polyphenols give ginger its characteristic spicy smell, and they also hold the key to gingers’ medicinal value.
Studies show that gingerols in the ginger act as an anti-inflammatory agent, blocking Cox-2 activity, which causes the development of pain symptoms in affected individuals. Try to consume as much ginger as you can. Add it to tea, spice up your meals, or chew on the raw root.
