Helps Fight Cancer Cells
Ginger was a natural cancer fighter because of its gingerol and shogaol compounds. Gingerol and shogaol both have anti-cancerogenic properties that they use to terminate cancer cells and prevent the growth, progression, and development of infected cells. There are some claims about the potential of ginger as a natural remedy for different types of cancer, including ovarian, prostate, colon, pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers. However, more solid research and studies are still needed to prove the effect of ginger in treating cancer in humans.
Ginger also shows chemo-preventive effects when tested in animals. It also actively reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation. There are also studies on ginger’s impact against ultraviolet-B, known for inducing skin carcinogenesis, and TPA, which causes skin edema. Some studies also consider the possibility of using ginger alongside turmeric and garlic.
The anti-carcinogenic property of ginger is impressive and opens a lot of possibilities. However, more clinical research studies are still needed to identify its full potential and the risks and possible side effects of using ginger as a natural cure for cancer.
