Video Transcript: Ginger-Spices in the Kitchen

Ginger is a rhizome, an underground stem, of a tropical plant. This is dried ginger; ginger has a long history of use for digestive problems as well as for rheumatic complaints. It’s very soothing to the stomach, it’s a very good remedy for nausea and motion sickness and it also has an anti-inflammatory effect, it can be very useful for arthritis and all sorts of other inflammatory conditions. It’s a warming spice, it makes you sweat. I use fresh ginger which I grate into stir-fries. I like pickled ginger, the kind you get with sushi, and I use powdered ginger for other purposes. I think for anti-inflammatory effect, this may be best taken as a supplement of extracts of ginger in capsules that are standardized and there are ginger products on the market that you can get for this use. As a remedy for nausea, motion sickness, you can really use it in any form, including nibbling on crystallized ginger.
