Joint pain caused by inflammation of joints can make it very difficult for any individual to remain physically active, contributing to an increased risk of obesity, high cholesterol or vulnerability to heart disease. Individuals with arthritis and joint pain are also at increased risk of depression, which may be related to fear of worsening symptoms.

seen the effectiveness of Mudakkathaan Leaves (Cardiospermum halicababum) in curing joint pains. Now we shall see how Ginger helps individuals who suffer from joint pains.Ginger has been in use in Chinese, Japanese, and Indian medicine for hundreds of years
Ginger may also prevent the formation of blood clots and is a natural blood thinner. It can also lower cholesterol and prevent blood platelets from clumping together. Research also points to ginger for treating diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
How do we use Ginger?
1/2 a tsp of Ginger powder every day for joint pain works Wonders.
Mix it in warm water or juice and take it.
Take a small piece of Ginger, crush it and put it in boiling water.
5 grams of fresh ginger or 1 tsp of dried ginger, in divided doses throughout the day. Fresh or dried ginger can be added to stir-fries, curries, soups, or made into tea. I chop a two to three inch piece of fresh ginger, add it to a quart of water, a spoon of tea leaves and boil on the stove for 20 minutes. Add one to three drops of stevia to sweeten each cup of tea. Drink three cups daily for arthritic or muscle pain. Ginger enhances the taste of tea also!
