Notes
  1. Ginger is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory agents in the plant world. It is used to relieve the symptoms of arthritis and osteoporosis and has also been shown to decrease muscle pain and soothe stomach aches, nausea, and flatulence. A fun fact you may enjoy is that ginger has been celebrated as an aphrodisiac for centuries.
