Bio Health Ginger Root 500mg - 60 Capsules

Philosophy of the traditional herbalists - "the whole herb for the whole man".

A native of tropical Asia but now widely grown throughout the tropics, Ginger is cultivated from division of the rootstock. It flourishes in fertile soils and needs a good rainfall. The roots are dug up when the plant is 10 months old, washed, soaked and sometimes boiled and peeled.

The dried rhizome of ginger contains approximately 1-4% volatile oils. These are the active constituents of ginger and are also responsible for gingers characteristic odour and taste. The pungent constituents are credited with the benefits of this food.

A warming, settling herb. A recognised daily diet constituent in a variety of different foodstuffs. Well liked and relied on for lots of reasons.

The herbal ingredients are wherever possible sourced from organic, wild crafted (non-threatened species) or cultivated plants. All the herbal raw materials conform to accepted scientific standards, British Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and British Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
