Ginger has been used for millennia as a food and remedy in nearly all major traditional medical systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurvedic medicine, and traditional Western herbalism.
The main active ingredient in ginger is a phenolic compound known as gingerol, which has proven therapeutic properties.
Our 1:1 Ginger Liquid Extract, which contains 20% gingerols and is more potent than any similar product on the market, is made from raw ginger that has been slowly powdered to avoid harmful heat generation, then cold percolated to ensure that the final product retains the full range of the plant's medicinal compounds without compromising its integrity.
Herbalist Christopher Hobbs believes ginger is one of the best remedies for digestive or intestinal spasms, which often stem from hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system due to stress. Additionally, there's been a lot of contemporary research on its ability to reduce nausea, including a meta-analysis that found ginger to be more effective than a placebo in five of the six studies reviewed. Finally, naturopaths use it to reduce anxiety.
