Ginger [Digestive]
has been cultivated for thousands of years in China and India and
is still most widely cultivated in the East. It was brought to
America in the 16th century by the Spanish. At one point it was
second only to pepper as the most common English spice. Ginger is
very popular in the food industry as an additive to ginger ale,
candies, pastries and cakes. Its uses, of course, aren’t
confined to food preparation. It was written about in many
ancient Chinese herbal texts and is an ingredient in as many as
half of all Chinese herbal combinations. The Chinese use it to
buffer the effects of stronger herbs, and they drink it widely in
tea. Ginger nutritionally supports the digestive process. The
root has a strong, sweet scent.
