 Ginger and its components are natural COX-2 inhibitors. [Food Chem Toxicology 40: 1091-97,2002] Gingerol inhibits the spread of cancer cells. Pure gingerol was shown in one experiment to reduce cancer cell growth to the point where the cells could not be distinguished from normal healthy cells. [Cancer Research 61: 850-53, 2001] Gingerol is believed to be a safer form of "aspirin"since it blocks inflammation and thins the blood much like aspirin pills do. Researchers have suggested making synthetic gingerol-like molecules that could become patented drugs. |

 Another option is gingerroot. ginger helps the body to sweat, so toxins are drawn to the skin's surface. To prepare the ginger bath, place half-inch slices of fresh ginger in boiling water over a stove; turn off the heat, and steep for thirty minutes. Remove the ginger, and add that water into a tub already filled with hot water. Other detox bath additives to consider include:
?apple cider vinegar: increases blood supply to skin, changes its pH
?hydrogen peroxide: used in warm water (not hot), increases oxygen at the cellular level
?clay: has drawing properties, alkalizing action

 Ginger
The oleoresin from the rhizome of ginger, Zingiber officinalis (Zin-giberaceae), contains phenolic arylalkanones which are related to the pigment curcumin, from turmeric. These are known as gingerols and shogaols, and are the compounds responsible for the familiar pungent taste of ginger. They are derived from phenylpropanes, but with extended linear hydrocarbon chains. They have cholagogue and hepatoprotective effects in rats (Bruneton 1995). Recently, related compounds (diarylheptenones) with antifungal properties were identified in ginger and named gingerenone A, B and C (Endo et al. |

 For centuries, ginger has been prescribed by Ayurvedic and Indian healers to treat the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. ginger contains natural antiinflammatory agents called gingeroles. Fresh ginger, however, also contains compounds called shogaoles, which can cause stomach irritation in some people. HMP-33 contains a rich concentration of gingeroles but without the potentially irritating shogaoles.
HMP-33 blocks the inflammatory process in several ways. First, it inhibits the formation of prostaglandins, which are responsible for much of the pain associated with arthritis. |
