How does Ginger Root Work? Ginger has been used in ancient civilization including India, China, Greece and Rome, both as a food spice and versatile medicinal aid. Capsules, hot teas, and crystallized ginger are used to deliver a ginger-packed dose that can alleviate nausea, dizziness, inflammation, muscle aches, allergy symptoms and even flatulence.

Once in the digestive tract, it has the ability to increase digestive fluid and neutralize acids, which cancontribute to upset stomach. Ginger is a natural alternative to anti-nausea drugs and may provide an alternative solution for people seeking to eliminate side effects, such as exhaustion, which usually accompanies conventional anti-nausea medications. Ginger can also be used to relieve excessive flatulence and its associated symptoms.

Two separate studies showed a positive correlation between ginger and decreased nausea. One study was conducted using sailors, split into two groups. The first group was instructed to take 1 gram of powdered ginger per day, the the 2nd group took a placebo. The group taking the ginger had a significantly decrease occurrence of nausea and cold sweats, which a classic symptoms of seasickness. A second study followed women who were undergoing surgery. They were also instructed to take 1 gram of ginger, resulting in a decrease in post surgery nausea and vomiting.
Ginger also has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving abilities, which is important to those suffering from arthritis which is often a result of severe inflammation of the joints. Allergy suffers and those dealing with a cold may also find relief in using ginger, as it calms the inflammation associated with these conditions, thus reducing the duration of the symptoms. Muscle aches and chronic pain can also be diminished with the use of ginger.
General recommendations given for upsets, arthritis and chronic pain or muscle aches is to take at least 200 mg in capsule form, 1 - 2 grams of fresh powdered ginger or a fresh 1/2 inch slice of raw ginger root.
