The chemical compounds that give ginger its zesty taste - gingerol and shogaol - appear to reduce intestinal contractions and neutralise digestive acids.
Ginger is also a great antidote for travel sickness.
Ginger blocks the body's production of substances that contribute to bronchial constriction as well as fever.
The gingerols in ginger also act as natural cough suppressants. Ginger in its natural form is most effective. The active ingredients in ginger retain potency when processed. Try drinking ginger tea made with half a teaspoon of grated root ginger and boiled water.
