![]() For the 10 years prior to studying Ayurveda, I didn't feel consistent hunger. Along with my naturally high vata (air & space), I also lived a very erratic lifestyle which only added to my digestive troubles. Somehow I discovered that a small cup of tea made of grated ginger before meals would help me feel hungry enough to eat. Not ideal to rely on all the time but it worked and it was all that I knew at the time. Years later, it was enlightening to be able to spend a lot of time studying the properties of ginger. There is a funny thing with ginger. In Ayurveda, fresh and dry ginger have some different medicinal properties due to the drying process. It’s quite remarkable. Fresh ginger is actually considered to be more drying for the body and dry ginger is said to be more unctuous. I've listed some of the common and best uses for each type of ginger below. Some of these can be interchanged with each other but you will have overall better effect by following the breakdown on this list. 13 Health Benefits of Ginger: Fresh Ginger
Dry Ginger
Tips:
Note: Ginger should be used sparingly in summer, early fall and for anyone with vitiated pitta. Warmly, Lisa Lesser

There is already a lot lf heat in the atmosphere and body in those months. Pungent foods should be eaten in small amounts in that time to avoid any excess dryness, depletion or heat accumulation.

Ginger clears the ‘microcirculatory channels’ of the body, including the pesky sinuses that tend to flare up from time to time.

Nice one. Good point you make about ginger for Pitta. Ginger is considered one of the heating foods, and the heating effect does not suit Pitta. Heating foods are good for Kapha and Vata.

Informative & helpful. Would like to share some more points too ! Ginger is actually a herb – a rhizome to be precise. It contains chemicals that may reduce nausea and inflammation. Research also suggests that though these chemicals primarily work on the stomach and intestines. Ginger isn’t just for the stomach alone but works its magic on the respiratory system too. It can expand the lungs and loosen up the phlegm. To know more interesting facts on ginger do visit, http://www.avacare.in/

Undoubtedly, ginger is a natural remedy to relieve joint pains. To treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, some other herbs like dandelion leaves. There is nothing better and safer than herbal solutions.
