Say goodbye to muscle pain with ginger

Added 07.12.2010

Why ginger should be a part of your daily diet

You probably eat ginger once in a while, but here's why you should incorporate it into your daily diet: ginger can prevent nausea, morning sickness, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, chronic coughs, migraines, stomach problems and all kinds of aches and pains. Got muscle pain? Yes, ginger may be just what you need!

Ginger as effective as painkiller for muscle pain - but with no side effects

A recent scientific study says ginger eases muscle pain - even severe muscle pain after strenous exercise. The anti-inflammatory and pain killing effects of ginger are comparable to NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) - you know like those over-the-counter ibuprofen pills you pop in your mouth when you feel a headache or other pain creeping up. The huge difference between ginger and NSAIDs though is that ginger doesn't have any side effect. Ulcers, stroke, heart attacks, increased risk of sports injuries, internal bleeding and death are all associated with NSAID use. Consider these facts: in the UK about 12,000 people are admitted into hospital every year because of an NSAID-associated emergency. Approximately 2,230 deaths a year in the UK are directly linked to NSAID use - correctly prescribed and taken.

Fight pain and inflammation with Doctor's Natural Anti-Inflamin Super

Not every one likes the strong taste of pure ginger on a daily basis. If you suffer from pain and/or inflammation of any kind (osteoarthritis, muscle or joint pain, migraine, menstrual pain, sports-related injuries etc.), there is a perfect alternative for you. It's called Anti-Inflamin Super.

Anti-Inflamin Super contains only natural ingredients including 400 mg of ginger to fight pain and inflammation from the root.

Dr. Bo Nielsen's comments:

It is surprising that painkillers like NSAIDs are still legal - and can even be bought over the counter without a prescription - as they have so many unpleasant (read: dangerous) side effects. Below is a list of some known side effects taken from pharmaceutical handbooks which most doctors use to prescribe drugs.

Taking painkillers (NSAIDs) may cause the following side effects:

• Anxiety, nervousness, sleeplessness and tiredness.
• Chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance.
• Stroke and elevated blood pressure.
• Heart attack; fast or irregular heartbeat.
• Stomach and intestinal bleeding; black, bloody or tarry stools; coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
• Bloating, gas.
• Nausea, low-grade fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay coloured stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
• Increased risk of fractures, ligament ruptures and sports injuries and may slow down healing of fractures and ligament ruptures.
• Swelling or rapid weight gain.
• Sore throat.
• Severe blistering, peeling and red skin; rash.
• Neck stiffness, chills, increased sensitivity to light and/or seizures (convulsions).
• Bruising, severe tingling, numbness, pain, muscle weakness.
• Dizziness.
• Blurred vision.
• Ringing in the ears.
• Increased risk of abortion etc. etc. etc.

It is evident that the first choice of treatment should be a treatment that doesn't cause these side effects. A double-blind controlled study (2006) has proven that the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin is more effective than NSAIDs at treating moderate or severe pain and has no dangerous side effects. Several other scientific studies have proven that ginger root extract also has significant pain killing and anti-inflammatory effects.
The nutritional supplement Anti-Inflamin Super is an example of a natural combination of the most effective natural painkillers which do not have dangerous side effects. You can read more about this supplement here:
