Organic Ginger Root powder is derived from the root of the ginger plant, a perennial flowering plant native to Southeast Asia.

The use of ginger root powder dates back over 5,000 years and can be found in many ancient texts worldwide. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger root is a warming, nourishing tonic.

The spice has also been used in traditional Indian Ayurvedic principles to support a wide range of issues.

Today, ginger root powder is used in many cuisines around the world.

Native to southeastern Asia, a region whose cuisines still feature this wonderfully spicy herb, ginger has been renowned for millennia in many areas worldwide. Non-GMO ginger is mentioned in ancient Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern writings and has long been prized for its aromatic, culinary, and medicinal properties. After the ancient Romans imported ginger from China almost two thousand years ago, its popularity in Europe remained centered in the Mediterranean region until the Middle Ages when its use spread throughout other countries.

Historically, ginger has a long tradition of being very effective in possibly supporting a healthy gastrointestinal tract. In herbal medicine, ginger is regarded as an excellent carminative -- a substance that promotes the elimination of intestinal gas, and an intestinal spasmolytic -- a substance that relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract.
