Ginger helps to reduce muscle pain
Research has been conducted to determine the effects of ginger supplementation on exercise-induced pain. Two separate studies consisting of a total of 74 volunteers were conducted to investigate the effect of daily ginger consumption on muscle post-exercise pain.1✅ JOURNAL REFERENCE DOI: 10.1016/j.jpain.2009.12.013
The participants ingested either 2 grams of ginger capsules or a placebo pill, for 11 days straight. On the 8th day, they conducted 18 elbow flexor extensions with a heavy weight to deliberately cause slight damage to their arms.
Arm function, inflammation, and a biochemical associated with pain were also evaluated both before and after exercise. Results showed that ginger helped substantially reduce muscle pain caused by physical activity. It was revealed that daily ginger intake can reduce this kind of pain by up to 25%.

Another study looked at 261 individuals affected by osteoarthritis of the knee and chronic pain. After 6 weeks, it was seen that taking concentrated doses of ginger extract had a significant effect in reducing the symptoms of osteoarthritis.2✅ JOURNAL REFERENCE DOI: 10.1002/1529-0131(200111)44:11<2531::aid-art433>3.0.co;2-j
