Ginger has been used in food and medicine for thousands of years. Primarily we think of gingers benefits for symptoms like bloating, heartburn, flatulence and nausea. Chemicals that give ginger its spicy, pungent taste are responsible for stimulating the body to produce additional digestive juices which diffuse stomach acids that cause cramping, nausea and diarrhea.


Ginger helps ease the pain of arthritis, has blood thinning, cholesterol lowering, and anti-cancer properties. As a natural decongestant and antihistamine Ginger is even helpful for head colds & respiratory issues.

Denmark researchers have revealed that ginger can assist in the reduction of substances that cause inflammation of the blood vessels in the brain, which leads to migraines.

In Indian medicine, also known as Ayurveda, the oldest form of medical science in the world, ginger is listed as being helpful in clearing the microcirculatory channels to assist in better absorption of nutrients and better elimination of wastes.

One of the great things about ginger is that it is very safe to take in all forms and does not have any know side effects or interact with other nutrients or drugs.

To give you a better idea of the many benefits of ginger, take a look at this comprehensive list.

3) Helps Lower Cholesterol

Ginger just happens to be one of the 6 actives in a new nutritional formulation called Zrii, which is based around the most revered fruit in Ayurvedic medicine, called Amalaki. All total, Zrii contains these powerful & therapeutic ingredients: Amalaki, Turmeric, Tulsi, Ginger, Jujube, Schizandra, and Haritaki. Although the 6 actives help to 'potentize' the Amalaki, just like Ginger, each hold widely recognized healing properties of their own.

In order to create a nutrient dense and therapeutic product, a team of award winning Western medical doctors, world renowned Ayurvedic physicians and scholars, along with PhDs in chemistry and modern nutrition specialists were assembled to develop Zrii. It was only after completing over 60 formulations that the team emerge with a product that now has the wholehearted endorsement of one the foremost alternative health centers in North America, "The Chopra Center for Wellbeing" founded by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon.
