As an Immune Booster

People say ginger is a “hot spice”, meaning that when consumed, it has a warm reaction to your body. And this is where the old saying “you have to sweat it out” originates, since ginger makes your body sweat. The sweat glands form a mixture which saves the skin from infection. Ginger causes sweating, which is exceptionally important in cases of cold or flu.

Ginger also eases arthritis-related joint pain. It consists of anti-inflammatory agents which decrease swelling around inflamed joints. A lot of people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis consume ginger.
