The immune system is the highly complex defense mechanism that helps us to combat infection. In some people, the immune system wrongly identifies a nontoxic substance as an invader, and the white blood cells over react and do more damage to the body than the invader. The substances that provoke allergic responses are called allergens. Susceptibility to an allergen depends on many factors including heredity and the condition of the body's immune system. Stress, poor diet, insufficient sleep, emotional traumas, and infections can predispose the body to allergic reactions. No one knows why some people become allergic, however anything can cause an allergic response. A healthy body can resist allergens, but a lack of anyone nutrient can increase cell permeability, allowing easy entrance to by foreign substances.

Ginger is a favorite herb that is used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Next time you feel nauseous, sluggish or have an upset stomach with painful cramps, try taking ginger root capsules.
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.
Ginger is a natural, effective treatment for easing digestive upsets. 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.
Reducing nausea and dizziness is especially helpful for treating seasickness, morning sickness, post operative nausea, nausea from chemotherapy treatments, and general digestive complaints. 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.
Ginger can also be used in tea form with the same therapeutic results. You can make your own tea by opening 1 or 2 Ginger capsules, mix the finely-milled powder into hot water. If you're able to obtain Ginger root at your local grocery store, steep freshly grated raw Ginger root in hot water. Ginger ale is also availabe at most grocery stores, but make sure you buy a natural ginger ale vs. commerrcial ginger sodas, which don't contain a significant amount of the herb. Natural ginger ales provide about 1 gram of ginger per 8 oz. serving....December 9, 2005
