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.
