Why

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the most widely used and extensively researched medicinal plants in the world, with a history spanning thousands of years across Asian, Ayurvedic, and traditional Western herbal medicine. The cut and sifted form preserves the root in larger pieces than powder — the preferred choice for herbal teas and decoctions (simmering extracts a rich, warming brew with a more robust and complex flavour than powder), infusions and syrups, tinctures, and culinary use in soups, broths, and slow-cooked dishes. The bioactive compounds responsible for ginger’s health benefits are gingerols (predominant in fresh root) and shogaols (formed during drying, more potent than gingerols), along with a broad spectrum of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and phenolic antioxidants. These support digestive health, nausea relief, anti-inflammatory activity, and circulatory warmth. USDA Organic certified by QAI, Kosher certified by Kosher Certification Services. Origin: China.

Formula Highlights

• Gingerols — the primary bioactive compounds in dried ginger root; support digestive enzyme activity, gastric motility, and anti-nausea effects; also have anti-inflammatory properties via COX and LOX pathway inhibition
• Shogaols — formed from gingerols during the drying process; more potent than gingerols in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity; contribute to ginger’s warming and circulatory-stimulating properties
• Monoterpenes & Sesquiterpenes (including zingiberene, bisabolene) — the aromatic volatile compounds responsible for ginger’s characteristic flavour and aroma; contribute additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity

Facts

Suggested Use

As a herbal tea: Add 1–2 teaspoons of cut ginger root to 250–500ml of cold water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Strain and serve. Sweeten with honey if desired, or add lemon juice. For a lighter infusion, steep in boiling water for 5–10 minutes without simmering. As a dietary supplement: ⅛ teaspoon (approximately 250mg) daily. In cooking: Add directly to soups, broths, curries, and slow-cooked dishes. Remove pieces before serving or leave in for a more intense flavour.
