Commentary on Therapeutic Role of Ginger (Zingiber officinale) as Medicine for the Whole World

In Ayurveda, ginger is also referred as “Vishawa Bhesaj”, which means, Medicine for the Whole World. It means that ginger can be given to anyone living in this world and it would be suited to all. Usually ayurvedic principles state, since every person is unique in its composition of nature thus there should be always an individualisation of the medicine given. But this very synonym contradicts one of the basic of ayurvedic philosophy.
