Non-standardized fullpotency

The key medicinal uses of ginger are

Nausea and vomiting
Travel sickness
Arthritis
Migraine headaches

Ginger has been extensively used in combating nausea in early pregnancy. In a randomised blind crossover trial, 250 mg of dried ginger powder given 4 times daily brought about a significant reduction in the severity of the nausea and actual attacks of vomiting in 19 out of the 27 cases studied.

Ginger is known to be a powerful antioxidant. It has been shown in experiments that if used commercially, it would extend the shelf life of meats.

Ginger, like garlic and onions, inhibits the agregation of blood platelets (prevents them sticking together and forming clots). Ginger has been shown to be far more powerful than garlic and onions in preventing this.

Ginger promotes the excretion of cholesterol and impairs its absorption, therefore it is useful in lowering high cholesterol levels.

Ginger provides much benefit to the liver and gallbladder.

Ginger is able to inhibit the formation of prostaglandins that cause inflammation. In a study, patients taking 5 grams of ginger daily reported a significant improvement in joint mobility, moring stiffness and decreased swelling and pain. In a study by Srivastava and Mustafa, it was reported that out of 28 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 18 with osteoarthritis and 10 with muscular discomfort, 75% of the arthritis patients and 100% of the muscular discomfort patients experienced relief in pain or swelling. They took ginger for periods ranging from 3 months to 2.5 years. The recommended dosage was 500mg to 100mg. Patients taking the higher dosages reported quicker and more relief.

It has been shown to help in migraine cases also, probably because of ginger's action on platelets and as an anti-inflammatory.

Gingerol, an active ingredient of fresh ginger, is a tonic for the heart. It increases the uptake of calcium in the heart muscle. It is probably better to use fresh root ginger rather than dried preparations for this purpose.
