Both ginger and turmeric have been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, ranging from migraine to chronic inflammation and fatigue.
Ginger and turmeric are two of the most extensively studied ingredients in herbal medicine.
Both have also been used to help relieve pain, decrease nausea, and enhance immune function to help protect against illness and infection
🌼Reduce inflammation
Chronic inflammation is thought to play a central role in the development of conditions like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
It can also worsen symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Ginger and turmeric have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which could help decrease pain and protect against disease.
One study in 120 people with osteoarthritis found that taking 1 gram of ginger extract per day for 3 months effectively reduced inflammation and decreased levels of nitric oxide, a molecule that plays a key role in the inflammatory process. Similarly, a review of 9 studies showed that taking 1–3 grams of ginger per day for 6–12 weeks decreased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker. Meanwhile, test-tube and human studies indicate that turmeric extract can decrease several markers of inflammation, with one research noting that it may be as effective as anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen and aspirin.
One review of 15 studies also observed that supplementing with turmeric could reduce levels of CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and malondialdehyde (MDA), all of which are used to measure inflammation in the body.
🌼Relieve pain
Both ginger and turmeric have been studied for their ability to provide relief from chronic pain. Studies show that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is especially effective at decreasing pain caused by arthritis. In fact, a review of 8 studies found that taking 1,000 mg of curcumin was as effective at reducing joint pain as certain pain medications in those with arthritis. Another small study in 40 people with osteoarthritis showed that taking 1,500 mg of curcumin daily significantly reduced pain and improved physical function, compared with a placebo.
Ginger has also been shown to decrease chronic pain associated with arthritis, along with several other conditions. For example, one 5-day study in 120 women noted that taking 500 mg of ginger root powder 3 times daily reduced the intensity and duration of menstrual pain. Another study in 74 people found that taking 2 grams of ginger for 11 days significantly reduced muscle pain caused by exercise.
🌼Support immune function
Many people take turmeric and ginger at the first sign of sickness, hoping to enhance immune function and sidestep cold or flu symptoms.
Some research shows that ginger, in particular, may possess powerful immune-boosting properties. One test-tube study indicated that fresh ginger was effective against human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), which can cause respiratory tract infections in infants, children, and adults. Another test-tube study found that ginger extract blocked the growth of several strains of respiratory tract pathogens. A mouse study also noted that taking ginger extract blocked the activation of several pro-inflammatory immune cells and decreased symptoms of seasonal allergies, such as sneezing. Similarly, animal and test-tube studies have shown that curcumin possesses anti-viral properties and can help reduce the severity of influenza A virus. Both turmeric and ginger can also decrease levels of inflammation, which can help improve immune function.
🌼Decrease nausea
Several studies have observed that ginger could be an effective natural remedy to soothe the stomach and help reduce nausea. One study in 170 women found that taking 1 gram of ginger powder daily for 1 week was as effective at reducing pregnancy-related nausea as a common anti-nausea medication but with far fewer side effects.
A review of five studies also showed that taking at least 1 gram of ginger per day could help significantly reduce post-operative nausea and vomiting. Other research indicates that ginger can decrease nausea caused by motion sickness, chemotherapy, and certain gastrointestinal disorders. Though more research is needed to evaluate the effects of turmeric on nausea, some studies have found that it may protect against digestive issues caused by chemotherapy, which could help reduce symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
🌼Potential side effects
When used in moderation, ginger and turmeric are both considered safe and healthy additions to a well-rounded diet.
Still, some potential side effects need to be considered. For starters, some research has found that ginger may decrease blood clotting and could interfere with blood thinners when used in high amounts. However the teas are not portioned in high amounts.
