Amongst the various other benefits of the ginger, the most prominent one is its ability to relieve pain. It is said to relieve the severe pain women go through during their menstrual cycles and also helps soothe exercise induced muscle soreness.
It is the most common ingredient in Indian cooking and makes its way into most of our ‘sabzis’. For people suffering with digestive or gastric issues, ginger is a boon as the phenolic compounds in ginger help relieve such conditions.
It contains many other anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds (eg- beta-carotene and curcumin), which have various health benefits.
