Helps Improve Mental Health
Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression remain to be a topic of sensitivity. Depression and anxiety can cause people to feel sad, nervous, afraid, and lost all the time, affecting their daily routines, careers, and relationships. The causes may vary, every individual has different triggers, and treatment can have different effects on different people. There is also a significant decrease in the person’s dopamine and serotonin levels.
Ginger shows promising effects on improving mental health conditions. In ancient times, ginger was used to create an anti-anxiety elixir which could balance the body’s functions. Recent research also commends ginger’s calming and soothing effects that can reduce anxiety and depression. It also reduces the inflammation of the brain that is believed to cause depression. In addition, drinking ginger tea regularly can also increase happy hormones or serotonin and dopamine levels.
Ginger may also help patients who have PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder, dementia, and panic attacks.
