They have characteristic kidney-shaped leaves, growing from creeping rhizomes, and bear small, axillary, brown or reddish flowers.
The plant is called wild ginger because the rhizome tastes and smells similar to ginger root, but the two are not particularly related.
Traditional healers use the extensive root system of wild ginger to cure indigestion and stomach pains. Roots of the wild ginger are dried and boiled to promote bowel movement, ease stomach pain, and are used as an overall tonic. A decoction can also be used to treat headaches, knee pains, boils, and skin infections.
The leaves can be used as a tea substitute. Many people are repulsed by the taste, as the herb has a strong, bitter (almost antiseptic-like) flavor. However, there are some individuals who find the taste appealing. Tea made from the leaves of wild ginger act in the same way as the root does; stimulating the intestinal tract and promoting digestive health.
Some botanists use the leaves as a decoction to treat sores with.
Wild Ginger Health Benefits
According to the nutrients listed above, here are some potential health benefits of wild ginger:
* Inflammation Treatment
In the former wild ginger was used for treating open wounds by pioneers due to the antibiotic contained in the roots. They are chopped up and used to relieve skin inflammation as a natural remedy. There is no research or study about it, but if you are not sure then just don’t try using it. Not only inflammation, but also burns and wounds can be treated since there is substance called beta-sitosterol in wild ginger.
* Cholesterol Level Reduced
Beta-sitosterol is one of the nutrients found in wild ginger and this substance, according to the FDA, can lower cholesterol. As a result, this substance can be used to prevent coronary heart disease, which the main cause is high cholesterol level in the body. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been any evidence about this substance preventing coronary heart disease, yet this has been proved to be effective in lowering cholesterol.
* Pain Reliever
There are many health benefits of wild ginger, as has been mentioned above that wild ginger is good in treating inflammation, amazingly this plant is great in relieving pain too, thanks to the limonene. Some studies showed that limonene can reduce the pain in the muscles and bones, tough the studies had done only to mice. Further studies might be required so the use of this substance as a pain reliever can be trusted.
* Anti-stress Effect
Limonene, which can be found in wild ginger, is also available in other plants especially when they are formed in essential oils such as Basil essential oil, orange essential oil and Brazilian Peppertree essential oil. Those essential oils containing limonene are said to be effective in reducing stress and anxiety, according to some studies, thus resulting in a fact that limonene is a good anxiety fighter.
Studies about those essential oils were done only to mice and the other ingredients contained in them might provide the stress reliever effect too. So, depending on wild ginger only to relieve stress, which has no studies done to it, can be doubtful. However, the limonene found in wild ginger is still a good substance to take the benefits.
* Anti-Inflammatory
Wild ginger contains two anti-inflammatory substances; bornyl-acetate and geraniol. You might be familiar with geraniol, the substance that has been widely used in various products such as detergents, perfumes, lotions and soaps, due to its sharp aroma.
Wild ginger, like the cuisine ginger you can find at your kitchen, has the same kind of aroma too, although this is different from lemon or orange, which also contain geraniol substances. Nevertheless, the use of geraniol and bornyl-acetate as anti-inflammatory properties are mostly found when they are used in essential oils. Considering that wild ginger is not used that way, the result might be different and more studies are required.
* Insecticides
Still talking about geraniol, this substance can be used as an insect repellent to keep the bugs away from your garden. Although this has been widely used by manufacturers in chemical products, you can make a natural insect repellant at home using wild ginger.
Use the decoction as insecticides or bug repellent is quite handy, but when you apply it to your body the scent might be strange enough as it has a strong aroma, which is not really welcoming to many people. However, this spray can be much safer than those chemical bug repellent products out there.
* Body Warmer
Back in the former wild ginger has been used as beverage to add flavor to herbal teas. It just needs to be steeped in boiling water to be consumed as tea and provides many benefits for your body, one of them is for warming it up during the winter. It can also relieve colds, cough and flu, just like the health benefits of red ginger.
