Why we love it
Ginger isn’t just a warming spice; it’s a versatile botanical traditionally used to support digestive comfort, menstrual ease, and overall resilience.
Traditionally Supports:
How it's Used
In Chinese herbal practices, Ginger is a foundational herb known for its warming qualities. It is traditionally used to expel cold, resolve toxicity, and support the body during ailments such as the common cold and digestive upset.
In Western herbal practices, Ginger is valued for its ability to support digestive well-being by promoting comfort and easing nausea and bloating. It is also associated with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and is known for its role in maintaining overall well-being.
Fun Fact: Ginger is a rhizome (an underground stem), not a root. You can even grow it at home by planting rhizomes purchased from your local grocery store!
How we use it
“Ginger has been served with sushi (my fave!) for centuries as people noticed that if they ate raw fish and ginger together, they would get sick less frequently. We now know this is due to ginger’s antibacterial and anti-nausea properties.”
- Lulu Ge, Founder & CEO
