Ginger prevents menstrual cramps
Those pains experienced by women during their menstrual cycle is very killing. Studies have shown that menstrual cramps are linked to excessive productions of prostaglandins. This prostaglandin is a class of pro-inflammatory chemicals that trigger the muscle contractions which help the uterus shed its lining. Ginger, therefore, inhibits the production of these chemicals, causing pains and cramps to be reduced drastically. For usage, you can grate ginger into powder, mix 1 gram in water and take for the first three days of menstruation. It will effectively reduce pain like over-the-counter medicines for cramps. [2]
