❦ Ginger Uses and Benefits ❦
⫸ Effective Natural Ibuprofen Alternative: ([1] [2] [3] [4])
In a 2009 study, 150 women were instructed to take either ginger or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for the first 3 days of their menstrual period.
The three groups received four daily doses of either ginger powder (250 mg), mefenamic acid (250 mg), or ibuprofen (400 mg). Ginger managed to reduce pain as effectively as the two NSAIDs [1].
More recent studies have also concluded that Ginger is more effective than a placebo and equally as effective as drugs such as mefenamic acid and acetaminophen/caffeine/ibuprofen (Novafen) [2] [3] [4].
⫸ Powerful Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects [5] [6].
⫸ Can Treat Many Forms of Nausea Including Morning Sickness: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12].
Safety - It has been recommended that pregnant women who are close to labor or who’ve had miscarriages avoid Ginger. [13]
⫸ Ginger May Drastically Lower Blood Sugars and Improve Heart Disease Risk Factors (potential anti-diabetic properties):
In a 2015 study of 41 participants with type 2 diabetes, 2 grams of ginger powder per day lowered fasting blood sugar by 12% [14].
It also dramatically improved hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a marker for long-term blood sugar levels. HbA1c was reduced by 10% over a period of 12 weeks.
There was also a 28% reduction in the ApolipoproteinB/Apolipoprotein A-I ratio and a 23% reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA), which is a byproduct of oxidative stress. A high ApoB/ApoA-I ratio and high MDA levels are both major risk factors of heart disease [14].
A more recent 2019 literature review also concluded that ginger significantly reduced HbA1c in people with type 2 diabetes. However, their own study found that ginger had no effect on fasting blood sugar [15].
