Ginger — An Herbal Remedy to Prevent Ovarian Cancer
In traditional Chinese medicine Ginger has always been used as one of the principal herbs to treat the common cold. Researchers also found that Ginger works well in calming down an upset stomach. Ginger is particularly good for people that are prone to sea sickness or motion sickness. Ginger is not only a good herbal remedy, it doesn’t taste too bad either. Now, current research shows that Ginger inhibits ovarian cancer cell growth.
According to researchers ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in the United States and represents the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women. Researchers conclude that the use of dietary agents such as ginger may have potential in the treatment and prevention of ovarian cancer.
Ginger is a natural dietary herbal remedy with antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. Other foods such as garlic, soy, chilies and green tea are thought to contribute to the decreased incidence of colon, gastrointestinal, prostate, breast and other cancers.
Multiple research studies suggest that many of these foods, including Ginger, may be used alone or in combination with traditional chemotherapeutic agents to prevent cancer. The nice thing about these dietary herbal remedies is that they are low in toxicity and have very few side effects. They also taste good and are good for you.
