It increases the release of bile and digestive enzymes which helps you better break down your food.
It’s also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, which is useful for overgrowth and infections of the GI tract.
Ginger is also commonly used for nausea and it’s even useful for relieving gas or headaches.
Ginger also enhances circulation around the body and for women, the reproductive organs. Some studies also show that ginger has the ability to destroy cancer cells.
