Ginger (Radix Zingiberis)

• Ginger is a herbaceous perennial with a creeping, widely branching rhizome from which annual shoots over one metre high grow. The elongated, light green leaves are over 20 cm long. The plant rarely flowers and is usually propagated vegetatively. The rhizome has played an important role in Chinese and Indian medicine since ancient times and is also particularly valued as a spice in Asian cuisine.
• Effect: Ginger is an excellent remedy for stimulating the appetite and activating digestive processes. Ginger provides relief for stomach complaints and flatulence. There are various reports of a favourable effect on stomach ulcers, headaches and rheumatic joint complaints. However, this information has not yet been sufficiently investigated.

Liquorice (Radix Liquiritiae)

• Liquorice is a woody, perennial shrub that grows up to 2 metres high. It has an extensive root system with a taproot. The bluish to light purple butterfly flowers are arranged in spike-like, upright inflorescences. The dried secondary roots collected in late autumn to spring are used medicinally.
• Effect: The glycyrrhizin contained in liquorice root has a cough-reducing, anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses, which means that liquorice root can also be used to treat coughs and inflammation in the mouth and throat.
