You may ask why blend CBD Oil with ginger? To answer the question, we will look at the possible health benefits of ginger and whether it is good for arthritis. What is Ginger? Ginger is part of the Zingiberaceae family of flowering plants which also include turmeric. Ginger is commonly produced in India, Jamaica, Fiji, Indonesia, and Australia; and has been used in cooking and medicine since ancient times. As an ingredient in cooking, ginger is especially popular in Asian and Indian cuisine. The ginger plant’s root or underground stem resembles a smaller sweet potato or gnarled tree which can be consumed fresh, powdered, dried, in oil form, or as a juice. You can find ginger in various forms such as ginger extract, ginger oil, tinctures, capsules, and lozenges. The Health Benefits of Ginger Ginger has been used for many years as a natural cure by various cultures and continues to be studied today to understand its many possible health benefits. In addition to providing us with Vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium; ginger is also believed to have multiple other health benefits. Ginger has long been used to help combat various forms of nausea. It is possible that ginger could be helpful against nausea because of its ability to block serotonin receptors in the stomach lining, helping to silence the nerves that trigger the vomiting reflex. In a recent review of clinical trials involving ginger, it was found that ginger could be considered a harmless and possibly effective option to ease the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Ginger is also believed to help with digestion since it stimulates saliva and bile while suppressing gastric contractions, assisting food and fluids to move through the gastrointestinal tract. Other uses for ginger include cold and flu relief, while some use it to try to help reduce pain and inflammation, as well as for cardiovascular health. But, more extensive and well-controlled human studies are required to provide proof of the health benefits of ginger. Furthermore, dose-finding studies are needed to accurately determine the effective dose and preparation of ginger. Is Ginger Good for Arthritis? Currently ginger is gaining popularity as a natural remedy and anti-inflammatory to help manage the symptoms of arthritis. Although the science-based evidence of ginger reducing arthritis symptoms is limited, the results of some early studies are promising. A study on the effects of ginger extract on knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis showed that 63% of the patients experienced a reduction in knee pain after receiving ginger extract daily. This was in comparison to only a 50% reduction in pain from the control group. The ginger extract had a statistically significant effect on reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee. Although the effect was moderate, ginger extract was found to be a safe option to treat pain experienced by osteoarthritis. In a smaller, but more recent study of the effect of ginger on patients with active rheumatoid arthritis, 70 patients were randomly placed to receive either 1,500 mg of ginger powder or a placebo for 12 weeks. A statically significant reduction in disease activity score was recorded within the group that received the ginger in comparison to the placebo group.
