Ginger root and ginger water have been used for their health benefits for centuries. In fact, long before it was kept in the spice cupboard, it was stored in the medicine chest. Ginger has a lot of manganese, potassium, iron, and phosphorus, along with a multitude of vitamins. It’s truly a superfood that helps with a wide range of health issues.

Ginger can be used to treat anything from digestive issues to pain to joint inflammation. If you’re plagued by any of these and more, you may want to give an all-natural ginger remedy a try.

Making Ginger Water

One of the greatest recipes for all-natural ginger water is actually very simple to make. Here is what you need:

  • half a lemon
  • ginger – 2inch piece
  • water – 3 cups
  • raw honey

Grate a big piece of ginger and add 3 cups of water. Add juice of half a lemon. Add some honey for better taste and mix the ingredients. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and tastes amazing.

Serve your ginger water hot in the winter for a soothing beverage that will make you feel warm and cozy. In the warmer months, drink it chilled or over ice to access health benefits and feel refreshed. Keep reading to see how it can help treat joint pain and inflammation, migraines and heartburn.

Ginger Water for Joint Pain and Inflammation

One reason ginger water works so well to relieve joint inflammation and pain is that it has natural antioxidants. It also has some painkilling properties. If your pain is caused by arthritis, you’re in luck. The Arthritis Foundation recently published an article about the positive effect ginger has on arthritis pain.

If your joint inflammation or pain is caused by exercise or exertion, not to worry. Ginger water works in exactly the same way, so you can harness the same healing properties.

Ginger Water for Migraines

If you suffer from migraines, there is evidence to suggest that natural remedies containing ginger help to relieve pain. The reasons for this aren’t certain, but it’s thought that some oils in ginger stop processes in the body that may trigger migraines.

Many migraine sufferers also have symptoms such as nausea and upset stomach, both of which can be treated with ginger water. If you experience no relief from migraines with regular medication, give ginger a try. It’s unlikely to make your migraine go away completely, but will help lessen pain and treat unpleasant symptoms.

Ginger Water for Heartburn

The health benefits of ginger when it comes to heartburn aren’t well-researched. There is evidence that the anti-inflammatory properties of ginger can help swelling in the esophagus go down. This can be useful for heartburn, but other studies show that too much ginger can actually make it worse!

If you would like to treat your heartburn with ginger water, it may help. However, drink it in small doses and stop if you feel pain or swelling getting stronger.

In addition to the above conditions, ginger is well-known for its use to treat an upset stomach. A simple cup of ginger water when you feel nausea coming on can be one of the best treatments available.

For full effectiveness, sip ginger water slowly over a period of time. Always have a backup supply in the refrigerator to keep your health in tip-top shape!
