Ginger May Soothe Aching Muscles
Daily Dose of Ginger May Act as Pain Reliever
By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD Sept. 20, 2010 -- Ginger's soothing properties may not be limited to the stomach. A new study shows that ginger may also be an effective pain reliever for sore muscles.

Ginger has been a favorite remedy of Chinese medicine for centuries and is often used to treat nausea and upset stomach. However, researchers say, it hasn't been widely studied as a pain reliever until now.

Daily Ginger Supplement for Muscle Pain
The study, published in The Journal of Pain, showed a daily dose of ginger eased muscle pain caused by exercise-induced muscle injury. In two separate experiments, researchers looked at the effects of two grams of raw or heat-treated ginger in supplement form on muscle pain caused by exercise in 74 healthy adults. The participants performed a variety of exercises designed to induce muscle pain over a period of 11 days while taking ginger supplements or a dummy pill.

"Daily consumption of raw or heat-treated ginger resulted in moderate-to-large reductions in muscle pain following exercise-induced muscle injury," write researcher Christopher D. Black, of the department of kinesiology at Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, and colleagues.

Raw or Heat-Treated Ginger?
The results showed that raw and heat-treated ginger reduced muscle pain by 25% and 23%, respectively.

Researchers say previous studies in animals have shown that ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, which might help explain its beneficial effects on muscle pain.

Although some studies have suggested that heat treatment may enhance ginger's impact on pain, researchers say their findings show heat treatment had little effect on ginger's effectiveness as a pain reliever.

生姜可能能缓解肌肉疼痛
--每日服用生姜可作为止痛剂
生姜的对疼痛的缓解作用可能不止对胃部有效。新的研究表明生姜可能能有效地缓解肌肉酸痛。
生姜是一个令人喜爱的，应用了几个世纪以上的中药，经常被用来治疗恶心和胃部不适。然而，研究人员表示，直至现在生姜都没有被当做一个缓解疼痛的药物被广泛研究。
每日服用生姜缓解肌肉痛
这项发表在《疼痛》杂志上的研究表明，每日服用生姜可以缓解由运动带来的肌肉损伤引起的肌肉痛。在两项独立的实验中，研究人员想考察2g生姜或者经过热处理的姜对肌肉痛的作用， 74名健康成年人通过各种锻炼诱导出肌肉痛，在11天内，一组服用姜制品（2g生姜或者经过热处理的姜），另一组则服用安慰剂。
“每日服用生姜或者经过热处理的姜可以使运动引起的肌肉损伤带来的肌肉疼痛中度至大量减轻”，位于米利奇维尔的佐治亚学院和州立大学（Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville）运动学系的研究人员克里斯托弗•D•布莱克（Christopher D. Black）及其同事这样写道。
姜生用还是热处理后使用？
研究结果表明生姜和热处理以后的姜分别减轻了25%和23%的肌肉痛。
研究人员表示，在此前对动物的研究中，生姜表现出了消炎的性质，这或许可以解释为什么生姜对肌肉痛是有益的。
尽管一些研究表明，热处理可增强生姜的对疼痛的效果，研究人员说，他们的研究结果表明热处理对生姜作为一种止痛剂的效力影响很小。
