The value of Ginger has been recognised by physicians and herbalists the entire world over, tapping into the incredible benefits of this amazing plant.

Confucius Say!
It has been said that Confucius never ate anything without eating a little ginger first. The 5,000 year old ancient Chinese text ‘Shen, nung pen tshao tching’, or ‘Manual of the celestial husbandman’ mentions ginger throughout for its warming properties and its support for good health. Queen Elizabeth I had a famous pot of ginger powder which she took...‘At anytime after or before a meal’ to assist digestion.

Ginger is helpful in warming the body against winter ills and chills. It is highly valued in the sophisticated world of Chinese healing and is used as a main ingredient in many traditional remedies. The story is basically the same around the world and at the heart of all traditional medicines; whenever digestive problems set in, ginger offers great support.
