From migraines to cancer and now a muscle pain reliever, ginger is proving to be one of the most beneficial, helpful herbs.

In the Journal of Pain, the reports of a test conducted  to examine the effects of raw and heat treated ginger were presented with surprising results. Researchers found that 24 hours following rigorous exercise, test groups consuming ginger (2 grams of raw or heated), experienced 20% reduced pain from lowering heavy weights with the arms.
