Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory and has pain relieving and soothing properties.  It helps relieve morning sickness during pregnancy, combats arthritis by reducing the pain and swelling in the joints, and supports heart health by preventing platelets from sticking together and lowering cholesterol levels.

Ginger is also great for the digestive tract where it calms the stomach, eases nausea, dispels gas, and helps absorb nutrients.
