There are many natural health products available in the marketplace which can be used for medicinal purposes. One of the oldest and most popular natural ingredients available is ginger and now The Truly Natural Company, suppliers of natural skin care and isoflavones offer ginger granules which have a wide range of medicinal and health uses.
Ginger originated in Asia and is grown primarily by India, China, Indonesia and Nepal. As well as being one of Asia’s most popular and widely used cooking ingredients, ginger has been used for centuries as a natural health remedy for a number of conditions. It is now used the world over as an effective natural supplement for arthritis and rheumatism, motion sickness, nausea and as a relaxing infusion.
Lennie Taylor, Managing Director of the The Truly Natural Company, which also specialises in natural skin care products, handmade soap and natural HRT supplements, said, “The Arthritis Research Council say that sixty percent of arthritis sufferers use some form of complementary and alternative medicine in their lifetime. Ginger has become extremely popular with arthritis and rheumatism sufferers as an anti-inflammatory and it can help people with tendonitis. It is used around the world for this purpose – for example in Indonesia, a type of ginger known as Jahe is used as a herbal preparation to reduce fatigue and to cure rheumatism.”
Ginger has also been proved to be effective in multiple studies for people who suffer with motion sickness and morning sickness and those undergoing chemotherapy. In the United States, ginger is recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration and is sold as an unregulated dietary supplement.
Mr Taylor from the company who also supply weight loss supplements and biodegradable travel wipes added, “Research has shown that ginger can be particularly effective for those people who suffer from travel sickness. For those people who struggle with bumpy travel, particularly at sea, ginger can alleviate these problems. It has also been used to good effect for people who are undergoing chemotherapy and who take ginger as a complementary natural remedy in addition to their anti nausea drugs.”
Ginger is also an excellent, relaxing infusion when drunk in the afternoon or early evening. Many cultures use ginger infusions for common colds, sore throats and as flu prevention and a teaspoonful of The Truly Natural Company ginger granules mixed with warm water makes a relaxing drink that can boost your immune system.
