ginger root<\/a> is one of the most ancient forms of traditional medicine available. This perennial herb has plenty of respect among Asian populations for its potent healing ability. Ginger gets its health benefits from the compound, \u201cgingerol.\u201d Gingerol is one of the most common polyphenols found in ginger root, and it has potent anti-inflammatory properties.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can use ginger to treat your hives by crushing the root and simmering it in water for 8-hours over low heat to extract the gingerol from the plant matter. Add this concentrate to your spray bottle along with the tea tree and witch hazel for the ultimate soothing and antiseptic body spray that reduces the healing time for hives.

You can also make a tea from ginger root and drink it to help your body fight off inflammation and relieve the symptoms of itching and irritation associated with hives. Crush up the root and add it to boiling water. Let the tea steep for 5-minutes before drinking.
