There is hardly anything this miraculous root cannot do: Boosting the immune system and metabolism, ginger helps fight bad breath. The aromatic substances in the tuber warm us up entirely from the inside and improve blood circulation. 

Ginger enjoys a long history of traditional medicinal use to relieve symptoms like poor flow. It contains gingerols that generate heat from within by stimulating metabolism. Research finds ginger ingestion supports circulation through antioxidant and anti-clotting effects.

For example, one study gave 60 volunteers 500mg of powdered ginger daily vs. placebo – ginger significantly lowered inflammation and improved microcirculation. Steep fresh ginger root in hot water to make a warming tea, add to foods, or take capsules for gentle warming support during colder seasons.
