This wonderful spice offers anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer and antioxidant activities. It can even be used as an analgesic. Ginger is also considered one of the best detoxifying herbs, frequently recommended in cleansing programs and detox diets. The healing portion of the plant is referred to as the rhizome, which is the thick underground stem. The stem can be steeped in water, used as a tea or grated in order to spice up a meal. Ginger essential oil, available at many health food stores, can be used in a bath to sooth sore muscles and joints.
