Ginger: A Powerful Herb for Digestion, Eyesight, and More

Ginger holds special significance in Islamic tradition, as it is mentioned in the Qur’an. In Surah Al-Insan (76:17), it is described as one of the delights given to the inhabitants of paradise:
“And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with ginger.” [Quran 76:17]. This highlights its esteemed status as a beneficial and soothing substance.

What is Ginger?
Though often referred to as a root, ginger is actually a reed-like herb with rough, knotty underground stems called rhizomes. The rhizomes are the part of the plant that is most commonly used for medicinal purposes. Ginger contains powerful antioxidants such as gingerols, shogaols, and zingerones, all of which contribute to its health benefits. It also has natural blood-thinning properties, which help improve circulation and prevent blood clots.
