Ginger tea is great stuff – if you tend to have stomach issues or if you're susceptible to motion sickness, there's nothing better. Mmm.

                <DIV><STRONG>Anti Inflammatory

Other studies have shown ginger to be effective in <STRONG>reducing inflammation and  swelling</STRONG> in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and muscular  discomfort.</DIV>
