Ginger, a natural anti-inflammatory root, has been used for thousands of years by the Chinese to cure pain. Ginger helps relieve arthritis, headaches and muscle soreness. It can help spice up your circulation, too!

A ginger press is a natural solution effective to ease and cure pain such as rheumatism, swollen veins, muscle pain, back aches and sprains. It has all the healing properties of ginger, garlic and coarse sea salt. The hot and quite burning sensation it gives to the skin it’s what actually indicates the pain-killing properties of ginger that deeply penetrate to the source of the pain.

One study shows that ginger relieves arthritis pain. In the study, 63 percent of the subjects who were taking a ginger supplement saw a decrease in osteoarthritis knee pain. Taking ginger extract also saw an improvement in their overall pain.

For intense pain, the press can be left on the skin until the hot sensation is gone.
