As a natural supplement, ginger is best known for its stomach-soothing qualities. It’s a great natural solution for motion sickness, nausea and indigestion, but did you know its also great for the muscles and skin? Do your muscles ache? Try a ginger bath. Ginger’s essential oil warms and promotes blood flow and circulation, which helps relieve muscles. For a ginger bath, grate 4 tablespoons fresh ginger, seal it in a cotton bag and place the bag under running bath water. If you suffer from PMS-related cramps, drink ginger tea. A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found ginger was effective at soothing cramps. Just steep 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root in water for 15 minutes, add in a splash of lemon and honey and enjoy. Rejuvenate your skin with ginger. It gives your skin a bright, healthy glow. For a fresh body scrub, mix 1 tablespoon chopped ginger with 4 ounces Epsom salt and 1 tablespoon lime juice, heat in the microwave until warm, then rub itinto skin followed by a thorough rinse. The ginger rejuvenates, and the vitamin C from the lime, smoothes skin.
