Sold by weight. Ginger (Zingiber officinale), root, cut and sifted, organic, China. Ancient Indians used their native ginger in cooking, to preserve food and to treat digestive problems. They also considered it a physical and spiritual cleanser. Chinese physicians prescribed it to treat arthritis and kidney problems. Chinese women still drink ginger tea for menstrual cramps, morning sickness, and other gynecological problems. The Chinese also consider ginger an antidote to shellfish poisoning, which is why Chinese fish and seafood dishes are often seasoned with the herb.
The ancient Greeks and Romans used ginger as a digestive aid. Ginger is used to treat motion sickness and morning sickness, as a digestive aid to relieve indigestion and abdominal cramping by soothing the gastrointestinal tract, making it an antispasmodic. Ginger may help with menstrual cramps. In food, season to taste for warm, spicy, aromatic dishes. Use ginger tea as a digestive aid, to help treat colds and flue, nausea, morning sickness or arthritis or to help prevent heart disease and stroke.
Small amounts of fresh ginger are probably okay during pregnancy, but large amounts of ginger may contribute to contractions of the uterus and this may be more pronounced in women who have had a miscarriage. Ginger seems to stimulate circulation in the pelvis and is sometimes used to bring on a menstrual period.
