Not only is ginger chock full of antioxidants, but it's also been used in medical traditions throughout the world for centuries to relieve pain, curb inflammation, and settle nausea.

The root is now known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As such, it is used for a number of conditions that involve inflammation and oxidation, including arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, skin conditions, autoimmune disorders and more.

The primary bioactive molecule in Yellow Ginger is curcumin. Curcumin is a polyphenol concentrated in the plant’s yellow rhizomes and is responsible for providing them with their distinctive pigment. They are underground stems that run horizontally and allow the plant to spread.

Curcumin is a strong antioxidant. Antioxidants neutralize free radical that, if left unchecked, can damage cells, DNA and cell membranes.

Curcumin has also been observed to inhibit two enzymes involved in inflammation, which may partially explain why it has long been used as an anti-inflammatory. it has also demonstrated some anti-cancer properties in laboratory experiments.

While a great deal of research has been conducted on curcumin in animal and laboratory experiments, more research is needed to understand all of the plant’s therapeutic uses in humans.

A 2012 study published in The British Journal of Nutrition found that ginger extract was effective at blocking prostate cancer cell growth.

Because of ginger root’s anti-inflammatory properties, it can be helpful for easing pain from menstrual cramps — about as effective as ibuprofen, according to a 2009 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
