Ginger or Zingiber officinale is a flowering plant whose root is widely used as a spice or medicine. Ginger has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.[1] As an antioxidant, it can be used to combat oxidative stress.[citation needed] It is also used to treat nausea and vomiting,[2] dizziness, joint pain, dysmenorrhea, muscle pain, migraines, and hypotension.[citation needed]
