Native to India, ginger is a well known medicinal plant around the world. Throughout Asia, its rhizome is widely used in cooking, but TCM uses it because of its benefits on digestion.

Indeed, dried ginger (gan jiang in Chinese) facilitates the digestion of raw vegetables and shellfish, calms nausea and swelling and warming cold stomachs that are not functioning efficiently. In addition, gan jiang is found in slimming diets as it helps to eliminate fat.

Thus, dried ginger tones the digestive system and promotes healthy and efficient digestion without abdominal discomfort or cramps.
