This rhizome, or underground stem, has many health benefits and is used as a natural treatment for stomachaches, migraines, nausea, and the common cold. Ginger can be consumed in three forms: fresh, dried and juiced.

Fresh ginger is known for treating baldness, arthritis, toothaches and even skin conditions such as eczema.

Dried ginger eliminates chest, lower back and stomach pains.

Juiced ginger can be poured onto burns to relieve pain and speed up the healing process.

Ginger goes with almost any meal. I use it in the majority of my dishes; it goes well with meats, fish, tofu, or even salad!
