Benefits

Ginger is a well-known herb with a long history of use for its digestive, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties. It has shown remarkable effectiveness in clinical trials for relieving period pain (dysmenorrhea). In one study, ginger was found to reduce menstrual pain by up to 83%, performing comparably to NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen, but without the potential side effects. In addition to pain relief, ginger has been shown to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. A study conducted on women with menorrhagia demonstrated that consistent ginger supplementation reduced blood loss significantly over a three-month period. Ginger’s well-documented anti-nausea effects are also particularly beneficial for individuals who experience nausea or vomiting as part of PMS or period pain.
