Health benefits of ginger

This cranberry tea includes ginger and lemon. Ginger is another healthy ingredient as there are so many benefits to ginger.

One common use for ginger is to calm nausea. It is often recommended in morning sickness to help relieve the symptoms, usually in the form of ginger biscuits.

Ginger is also said to help fight germs and stop the growth of bacteria like E.coli.

The antibacterial properties of ginger are said to also help with oral bacteria and as such prevent gum infections.

You can even buy ginger patches to apply directly to the skin to relieve pain and swelling in the joints. How well it works, I don’t know, but it may be worth a try?
