Ginger for Health

Sunshine Coast Naturopath Gosia Kuszewski, on the benefits of ginger:
"Ginger is without question one of my favourite herbs.It is useful in a wide range of natural health treatments, both as a food and a medicinal herb. Ginger reinforces the therapeutic activity of other herbs and promotes absorption. That is why I use it in almost every herbal mix. It helps to relieve dispepsia, due to the contents of an enzyme more powerful than papain or the papaya fruit." Read more from Gosia - <<click here>>
