Ginger is a potent flavor in most Indian dishes — even tea.
Primarily, ginger aids digestion. Ginger stimulates appetite, relieves nausea, limits flatulence, and reduces acidity. To aid digestion, sprinkle a thin slice of fresh ginger with lemon juice and salt, and eat one half an hour before a meal.
It also combats nausea and dizziness due to motion sickness. Older people, who can be unsteady on their feet, particularly benefit from ginger’s steadying influence.
Being anti-inflammatory, ginger lessens chronic pain. Ginger oil massage has been proved to ease muscle aches as well as joint swelling and pain rheumatoid arthritis.
Ginger minimizes symptoms of the common cold, allergies, and other respiratory conditions. It is often included in herbal decongestant blends for sinusitis, sore throat, and other respiratory complaints.

GINGER.
The very name of Ginger in Sanskrit language mentioned as ” Vishvaushadha” should suggest that it is a medicine for all ailments. This indirectly advises us to be liberal in using Ginger in our day-to-day life as a part of our food item. When taken along with food regularly, this has the power to correct and bring to balance harmful effect of any item of unnatural food which may not suit one and which one might have taken unknowingly. Our whole existence, life and well-being depend on the nutritive food we take.

USE GINGER REGULARLY.
If you are looking for a natural way to relieve your knee pain, a number of foods have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. One such item is Ginger. Include it in the daily diet which will lead to long-term benefits in the health of your knees.
Ginger traditionally is used to relieve an upset stomach , but it also reduces knee- pain by decreasing inflammation . So using ginger in the recipes has the double effect and advantaage of maintaining good digestion while decreasing knee-pain too.
I have read the above from a recent health journal which I thought of sharing with all of you.
