Ginger

Ginger is a popular spice that is utilized in a variety of alternative medical practices. 1 gram or more of ginger has been found in studies to effectively relieve nausea. Morning sickness, chemotherapy, and sea sickness all create nausea. Ginger appears to have anti-inflammatory effects and can aid with pain management.

In one research of those at risk for colon cancer, 2 grams of ginger extract per day reduced indicators of colon inflammation in the same manner as aspirin did. Another study discovered that a combination of ginger, cinnamon, mastic, and sesame oil reduced pain and stiffness in people with osteoarthritis. It performed similarly to aspirin or ibuprofen therapy.
