Ginger Benefit #4: Helps with Menstruation
Menstruation can be quite an unpleasant experience for many women, with some suffering from painful cramps and headaches every cycle. Pain during menstruation is known as dysmenorrhea and is a fairly common problem. While many people will turn to pharmaceutical products for relief from these symptoms, others find that ginger can be just as effective at relieving their discomfort.
Studies have shown that just a single gram of ginger a day can be enough to reduce both the duration of pain and the intensity. The studies show that it worked just as well as other well-known remedies such as ibuprofen.
