In research studies, ginger root has been shown to reduce inflammation in those who suffer from diseases such as osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and certain cancers (Study on Inflammatory Response, Study on Protective & therapeutic use, Study on rheumatoid arthritis, Study on anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects).
Honey
Honey is not a herb however we wanted to include it in this article because it is a natural remedy that you can easily attain to boost your immune system.
Throughout history, natural, raw honey has been regarded as a type of folk medicine. Recently, it has been drawing attention as an effective natural therapy because of its ability to suppress acute inflammation by enhancing our body's immune response.
Beware that most grocery store honey is pasteurized. The heat kills undesirable yeast, enhances the flavor, eliminates any crystallization, and increases the shelf life. However, many of the beneficial nutrients are destroyed during the process as well.
If you’re interested in getting raw honey, it's important to do your own research and attain it from a trusted source.
