Ginger is a flowering plant and its root is used as a spice and a natural remedy for thousands of years. Thanks to its amazing digestive abilities, it is a vital part of Asian cuisine. When it comes to food preparation, ginger is added to different meals, including meals with meat.

In addition to fresh ginger, there is also the potent ginger essential oil with nearly the same health benefits. In fact, the oil is considered to be the most powerful form of ginger due to the high amounts of gingerol. The oil can be taken orally to relieve specific conditions or applied topically to reduce pain and inflammation.
