coughs related to inflammation or allergies. There are over 80 species of
ginger, historically found in China, Japan, Australia and Hawaii.

and aids digestion by
relieving gas and bloating. It helps with arthritis, phlebitis, and muscle
soreness, by reducing pain and swelling. It has been used for heartburn, ulcers, impotence,
