At a glance
A staple of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda alike, ginger has been used for thousands of years — chewed fresh, brewed as tea, or taken as a warming decoction — to ease digestive discomfort after meals or during travel.
Ginger is the underground stem, or rhizome, of a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia. It's one of the most widely used spices and medicinal plants in the world, prized both for its warm, peppery flavor and its long-standing reputation for settling an unsettled stomach.
Fresh, dried, and extracted forms all contain gingerols and shogaols — the pungent compounds responsible for ginger's characteristic bite — which concentrate further as the root dries or is heated.
