What is ginger root?
Ginger is a tropical rhizome, harvested from the underground stem of a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia, used fresh, dried, or as an extract in food, tea, and herbal supplements around the world.
What are the benefits of ginger root?
Ginger contains gingerols and shogaols, pungent compounds studied for their traditional association with supporting digestive comfort and normal gastric motility, meaning the movement of food through the stomach and intestines. It's also associated with general antioxidant activity.
In an herb blend, ginger contributes a warming, digestive-supportive role that pairs naturally with the metabolic and inflammatory-response-supporting profile of turmeric, its close botanical relative.
