ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND PAIN RELIEVER
HISTORY AND TRADITIONAL USE
 |
The highly aromatic roots of this rare Southern African plant are regarded as Africa’s best natural anti-inflammatory remedy, and it has a long history of use in African traditional medicine for a range of conditions including headaches, influenza and colds, mild asthma, sinusitis, throat infections and bad breath.
It is considered an excellent antiseptic, circulatory stimulant (including the blood and the lymph) and overall body detoxifier. It helps reduce high blood pressure and body temperature in fevers. It inhibits clotting, thins the blood and lowers cholesterol. It is a mild sedative, balancing mood swings and calming hysteria. It has an expectorant action in the lungs, expelling phlegm and relieving coughs and chest infections.
It stimulates the appetite and enhances digestion and is well known for relieving nausea and vomiting, settling the stomach and soothing indigestion and heartburn. It relieves colic, abdominal pain and spasm, and helps to relieve griping caused by diarrhea. It is good for PMS, relaxes menstrual cramping, promotes menstruation and helps with delayed and scanty periods. It also relieves painful ovulation and is used to invigorate the reproductive system altogether.
Recent research has also found that African Ginger may help prevent strokes and hardening of the arteries. In rural Africa it has even traditionally been used as protection against lightning and snakes!
