Ginger isn’t just a kitchen staple. This warming, aromatic root has been valued for centuries in traditional wellness practices—and today, scientists are taking a closer look at what makes ginger so interesting.
That’s one reason ginger is included in Canna Joint Relief, our formula designed to support joint comfort, mobility and a healthy inflammatory response.*
An Ancient Root with a Long History
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been used for thousands of years, including in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
In TCM, fresh ginger—known as sheng jiang—has traditionally been used for its warming qualities and to support digestive comfort. Dried ginger, or gan jiang, has traditionally been considered even more warming.
While traditional use isn’t the same as modern scientific evidence, ginger’s long history gives researchers plenty of reasons to keep investigating this remarkable botanical.
What Does Modern Research Say About Ginger?
Much of the scientific interest in ginger centers around its naturally occurring plant compounds, particularly gingerols and shogaols.
Researchers have studied these compounds for their potential influence on pathways involved in the body’s normal inflammatory response and oxidative stress. Human studies have also explored ginger in relation to joint function and physical comfort.
Research is still evolving, and results aren’t definitive—but ginger continues to be an intriguing botanical for scientists studying joint wellness.
Why Ginger Is in Canna Joint Relief
We believe good formulas start with thoughtfully selected ingredients.
We include ginger in Canna Joint Relief because its naturally occurring plant compounds complement our approach to supporting:
- Joint comfort*
- Healthy mobility and flexibility*
- A healthy inflammatory response*
- Overall joint wellness*
Rather than asking one ingredient to do everything, Canna Joint Relief brings together complementary ingredients designed to support the body’s natural processes associated with healthy joints and movement.*
Ginger fits beautifully into that philosophy: an ancient botanical backed by generations of traditional use and a growing body of modern scientific interest.
Because sometimes what’s good for us isn’t something newly discovered. It’s something people have valued for centuries—and we’re only beginning to understand why.
