Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale) has been used since antiquity to support digestive function and Ginger's historical applications have been confirmed by modern research. Scientific studies have demonstrated that Ginger helps to maintain healthy gut flora, aids in the digestion of dietary fats, and can calm and soothe the digestive tract and relieve occasional nausea. In addition, Ginger possesses a number of constituents that may support healthy cardiovascular function, encourage a balanced immune system response, and may help to temporarily alleviate menstrual pain.*
