Ginger is famous for its affinity for the digestive system. It can relieve all kinds of digestive upsets, including nausea, indigestion, bloating, gas, motion sickness, altitude sickness, and vomiting.
It dries mucus, helping to relieve smoker’s cough and chronic congestion. It stimulates the thyroid, liver, and pancreas, and promotes bile secretion. It is helpful for those recovering from alcoholism, as it can stabilize blood sugar and relieve cravings.
Ginger is irritating to nasal membranes for some people, so be careful diffusing it! It is best applied to the skin, chest, feet or spine, or taken internally (in proper dilution).
