Ginger hails us from India and Ayurveda medicine. Its benefits are numerous, and its ability to improve digestion and reduce vertigo and queasiness are undisputed. Ginger has been in the United States and major outlying islands since European settlers brought it to their plantations a couple hundred years ago.
