Used part: root.Appearance: free flowing tan colored powder.Ginger, Zingiber officinale Roscoe [Fam. Zingiberaceae], is a popular spice use around the world. The medicinal use of ginger dates back to ancient times as indicated by early medical texts in India, China, Greece, Rome and Arabia. Traditionally, ginger is used for treating flatulent colic and indigestion. The German Commission E approves ginger for treating dyspepsia and preventing motion sickness. The British Herbal Compendium also recognizes ginger for these purposes, as well as for treating morning sickness during pregnancy, for stimulating the appetite in anorexia and for treating bronchitis and rheumatic discomforts. A recent systematic review of randomized controlled trials on ginger for treating nausea and vomiting examined six studies and found that these studies collectively favoured ginger over placebo. Out of three studies on the effectiveness of ginger for treating postoperative nausea, two studies found that ginger was superior to placebo and equally effective as metoclopramide. One study was found for each of the following conditions: seasickness, morning sickness and chemotherapy-induced nausea. These studies also collectively favoured ginger over placebo. One study of 80 navel cadets showed that taking one gram of powdered ginger before sailing reduced symptoms of seasickness including dizziness and nausea by 38 percent and frequency of vomiting by 72percent.
