Curing Muscle Pain with Ginger

Ginger is a spice that you’ll always find in your kitchen. It is known for its many medicinal properties, of which curing muscle pain is one of its foremost attributes. This was also tested by Danish researchers in an experiment.

In this experiment, people who had various types of muscle pain were asked to add a bit of ginger to their food. The result: about 63 of these people said their muscle and joint pain, as well as swelling and muscle stiffness got better.

Ginger is believed to cure muscle pains and aches

According to the researchers, ginger contains certain potent compounds, which stop the production of pain-causing hormones in the muscles. These potent compounds are called gingerols. As I live in an Asian country, ginger (or ginger-garlic paste) is used in almost all dishes prepared for lunch or dinner. 

If you are suffering from any general muscle pain or ache for a long time, you could add about 1 teaspoon of dried ginger or 2 teaspoons of chopped ginger to your daily diet. The pain should slowly go away. If it does not, you may have to get in touch with a doctor. 

I tried this on my mom and it worked. If you decide to alleviate your muscle pains with ginger, please let me know about your experiences by posting a comment below.
