Ginger is an anti-inflammatory herb, comparable to turmeric. Fresh ginger can be used internally or externally. Internally, grated ginger in boiling water makes a tea that can reduce inflammation, warm the body, and settle the stomach, relieving nausea and morning sickness.
Externally, ginger is helpful for joint inflammation, such as sore lower backs, arthritic pain, or gout. To make a poultice, grate ginger and place it on a cloth over Gladwrap. Apply the poultice to the affected joint, securing it with a bandage. If inflammation is present, the skin may become very hot as the ginger draws out the inflammation. The heat may fluctuate, but it will not burn the skin. The skin getting hot indicates inflammation in the joint.
