Introduction

Ginger, the underground stem, or rhizome, of the plant Zingiber officinale has been used as a medicine in Asian, Indian, and Arabic herbal traditions since ancient times. In China, for example, ginger has been used to aid digestion and treat stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea for more than 2,000 years. Since ancient times, ginger has also been used to help treat arthritis, colic, diarrhea, and heart conditions. In addition to these medicinal uses, ginger continues to be valued around the world as an important cooking spice and is believed to help the common cold, flu-like symptoms, headaches, and even painful menstual periods. Native to Asia where its use as a culinary spice spans at least 4,400 years, ginger grows in fertile, moist, tropical soil.

This is one with powerful anti-cancer properties. It contains a phytochemical known as gingerol that gives ginger its pungent smell. The benefit of gingerol is its ability to fight cancer and promote cancer cell apoptosis (cell death). Some people have added into their juice fasting regime to access this spice more frequently. Relatively the Asian population consumes more ginger within their diet as part of the spices added in their dishes.
