[MUST READ] Ginger Therapy for Kidney Failure

Ginger has been known for its efficacy in the treatment of several diseases and sicknesses over the years. For example, it has been confirmed that ginger relieves muscle pain, period cramps, reduces arthritic joint pain, relieves morning sickness, treats motion sickness, eases any type of nausea as well as protects against cancer. These are good enough reasons to recommend ginger for daily consumption in every household.

Moreover, the recent research findings in India have further accentuated the importance of ginger as Ginger Massage has been discovered to provide best treatments for kidney failure and dialysis patients. This was introduced by S. Pari, a software engineer, for his father G. Shanmugam who suffered from kidney failure. The Ginger Massage therapy is said to be effective as the failed kidney was restored to the normal level.

In a bid to document and preserve the therapy for scientific verification, Maya Tiwari wrote a book titled, Ayurveda Secrets of Healing, in which the procedures for Ginger Massage for kidney failure and dialysis patients are clearly spelt out:

Please note every time before putting the towel on patient’s back, close the ginger vessel immediately to avoid loss of heat.
