GINGER (zingiber officinale)

People frequently subject to blood clots are generally prescribed oral anti-coagulants to help keep their blood relatively thin. One of the most commonly used drugs for this is warfarin sodium (better known as Coumadin).

Awareness is growing among cardiac patients that warfarin sodium also used as a potent rat poison and can lead to serious internal hemorrhaging over an extended period of time.

Ginger root, with a traditional reputation as an anti-coagulant and cardio-tonic, is increasingly being considered as an ideal alternative to such synthetic blood thinners. Its recognition for this purpose is wide spread in Asian countries and it is beginning to excite interest in the West as clinical trials at such prestigious institutions as Cornell confirm both the efficacy and safety of gingerol, the active constituent in Zingiber Officinale

In traditional medicine, ginger, like cayenne, is a carrier herb. Carrier herbs bind other herbs given with them and help carry them deeper into the body's systems to increase their efficacy. It is also has a traditional role as an aid to digestion and is specific for the treatment of colic, dyspepsia and flatulence. Its complementary role in Wings Heart Formula is to assist in the speedy removal of garlic odour after sub-lingual dosage.

Medicinal Value

In studies conducted by Cornell University Medical College, ginger was found to help prevent hardening of the arteries and strokes. Gingerol inhibits an enzyme that is believed to cause cells to clot and so prevents recurrences of so-called "little" strokes.

Gingerol causes vagal stimulation and a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate. It is believed that its circulatory stimulation properties help offset sluggish circulation.
