Ginger Tablets, 450 mg Active Ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 450mg Ginger Tablets made from ground root What is Ginger (Zingiber officinale)? As a spicy and warming culinary ingredient, ginger is almost considered “old news” in our regions. But did you know that the root holds far greater potential? Not only Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but even the personal physician of Emperor Nero was already aware of the beneficial effects of this healing plant. Hand on heart – would you recognize a ginger plant? Probably not, because with its thick stem and long foliage leaves, the plant, which can grow up to 150 cm tall, resembles reeds more than anything else. The chances of seeing a real ginger plant in Europe are also quite slim. On the one hand, the herbaceous plant prefers a warm, humid climate and is therefore mainly found in the tropics and subtropics. On the other hand, wild ginger has become rare on our planet. To preserve the scarce natural populations, we use only ginger from controlled organic cultivation. Our ginger roots are grown according to strict quality standards, carefully dried, finely ground, and gently formed into tablets. Ginger in TCM, Roman & Monastic Medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine has long relied on the unique effects of ginger. As you may know, in TCM all healing plants and foods are classified according to their properties. Ginger is considered warming, pungent, and aromatic. It is assigned to the functional circuits of the lungs, spleen, stomach, intestines, heart, and uterus. Based on this classification, ginger is used in TCM for circulatory disorders, nausea, vomiting, bloating, digestive weakness, diarrhea, constipation, coughs, colds, sore throats, and menstrual discomfort. In addition, Chinese practitioners are convinced that this healing plant can balance and move Qi (life energy). By the way, the effects of ginger are not only known in Chinese folk medicine. Alexander the Great also helped spread this knowledge in Europe. The Romans, too, were fascinated by its effects. After extensive studies, Emperor Nero’s personal physician recommended that all soldiers carry ginger with them at all times, as he was convinced they had a versatile all-rounder for their home pharmacy. Ginger contains valuable constituents such as: beta-bisabolene and ar-curcumene, D-camphor, geranial, neral, linalool, zingiberol, gingerols, shogaols, essential oil, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.
