Ginger Therapy For Osteoarthritis
It is most interesting that Arthritis New Zealand are this month undertaking a study on the effectiveness of ginger therapy for osteoarthritis. It is being conducted in Christchurch and they are looking for volunteers to participate.
There is some preliminary evidence that ginger might be helpful for reducing osteoarthritis pain. Different studies have shown differing degrees of benefit, possibly because ginger seems to take many months to start working. Some studies may have been stopped too early.
Ginger is a herb. The rhizome (underground stem) is used as a spice and also as a medicine. It can be used fresh, dried and powdered, or as a juice or oil.
It is often used to prevent motion sickness and seasickness. Some people say they feel better after taking ginger before travel. But there is no hard evidence that ginger actually prevents motion sickness or seasickness.
Other uses include treating upper respiratory tract infections, cough, and bronchitis. In foods and beverages, ginger is used as a flavoring agent. In manufacturing, ginger is used as a fragrance in soaps and cosmetics.
Ginger therapy is a heat and relaxation therapy that has been found effective in relieving pain in osteoarthritis. It has been used for arthritis symptoms in specialist clinics in Europe for decades and traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in China for hundreds of years.
If you live in Christchurch and would like to participate in this new research, please be in touch with Arthritis New Zealand. We will wait with interest for the results of this research.

My family have been great believers in the healing effects of ginger and use it for just about every ailment under the sun, although I'm not sure it really works for most of them. However I have always thought that if you believe something will work then the chances are it will, regardless of any scientific proof. I am very interested in the link with ostearthritis and will pass this link on to a friend who suffers from it. Thanks for sharing.
