It gives the immune system a boost and can give a little extra support to respiratory reactions such as hay fever and the change of seasons when pollen is at its height.
Ginger boasts many potent anti-inflammatory compounds, including a variety of antioxidants, which are substances that protect your body from damage by unstable molecules called free radicals.
Ginger is packed with gingerols, paradols, sesquiterpenes, shogaols, and zingerone, all of which have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
