Dried Ginger – Gan Jiang | Premium Raw Herb
Dried Ginger – (Gan Jiang) is a very, very heating herb used in Chinese medicine to warm the core of the body when there are significant digestive difficulties: abdominal coldness and pain (relieved with application of heat), incomplete digestion, watery diarrhea (w/undigested food bits), nausea, and vomiting– so not your run of the mill sluggish digestion and periodic bloat but rather much deeper, chronic difficulties. It is also added to formulas to help when a cold, phlegmy cough has settled into the lungs (n.b. use only when the phlegm is clear or white).
Use in small amounts w/other herbs (for balance) to potentially address:
- chronic digestive difficulties
- weak, chronic cough with copius white phlegm.
- weak cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath
This is an herb to be used carefully and in low doses and is not recommended for ingestion during pregnancy.
