Zanjabeel (Ginger)

زَنْجَبِيلٌ‏:‏ قال تعالى‏:‏ ‏‏وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْساً كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنْجَبِيلاً‏ ‏[‏الإنسان ‏:‏17‏]‏ وذكر أبو نُعيم في كتاب ‏(‏الطب النبوى‏)‏ من حديث أبى سعيد الخُدرىّ رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ أهدى ملك الرُّوم إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جَرَّةَ زَنجبيلٍ، فأطعمَ كلَّ إنسان قطعة، وأطعمنى قطعة‏.‏ الزنجبيل حارٌ في الثانية، رطب في الأُولى، مُسْخِّن مُعين على هضم الطعام، مُلَيِّن للبطن تلييناً معتدلاً، نافع من سدد الكَبِدِ العارِضةِ عن البرد والرُّطوبة، ومن ظُلمة البصر الحادثة عن الرُّطوبة أكلاً واكتحالاً، مُعين على الجِمَاع، وهو مُحلِّل للرياح الغليظة الحادثة في الأمعاء والمَعِدَة‏.‏ وبالجملة‏.‏‏.‏ فهو صالح للكَبِد والمَعِدَة الباردتَى المزاج، وإذا أُخِذَ منه مع السكر وزنُ درهمين بالماء الحار، أسهلَ فُضولاً لَزِجَةً لُعابية، ويقع في المعجونات التي تُحلِّل البلغم وتُذيبه‏.‏ والمُزِّىُّ منه حارٌ يابس يهيج الجِمَاع، ويزيدُ في المَنِىِّ، وُيسخِّن المَعِدَة والكَبِد، ويُعين على الاستمراء، ويُنشِّف البلغم الغالب على البدن، ويزيد في الحفظ، ويُوافق برْدَ الكَبِد والمَعِدة، ويُزيل بلتها الحادثة عن أكل الفاكهة، ويُطيِّب النَّكْهة، ويُدفع به ضرر الأطعمة الغليظة الباردة‏.‏

Ibn Al Qayyim wrote: Allah the Almighty says: " And they will be served with goblet of a drink blended with ginger" (Quran, Al-Insan: 17). Abu Nu'aim mentioned in his book *Prophetic Medicine* that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri Radi Allaho Anh reported: "The King of the Romans sent a jar of ginger to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, and he served a piece to each person, giving me a piece as well."

Ginger is warm in the second degree and moist in the first. It is a warming agent that aids digestion, providing moderate relief for the bowels. It is beneficial for the liver, especially when suffering from cold and moisture, and it helps alleviate visual impairment caused by humidity, whether consumed or used in eye applications. Ginger promotes sexual health and helps dispel excessive gas in the stomach and intestines.

In general, ginger is suitable for individuals with cold temperaments in the liver and stomach. If taken with two measures of Honey or sugar & mixed with hot water, it helps to relieve thick, sticky phlegm. It is often included in mixtures that dissolve and eliminate phlegm.

The dried ginger is hot and dry, stimulating sexual desire, increasing seminal fluid, warming the stomach and liver, and aiding appetite. It also helps to dry out excess phlegm in the body, enhances digestion, and improves flavor, countering the effects of heavy, cold foods.

Ibn al-Baytaar wrote: Duwees bin Tamim: Choose ginger that is compact and not worm-eaten.

Ginger has a heating effect that aids digestion, gently softens the bowels, and is good for the stomach. It also helps with blurred vision and is included in some medicinal mixtures. Its effects are similar to those of pepper.

Ibn Masawayh: Ginger is hot in the third degree and moist at the first degree. It is beneficial for clearing blockages in the liver caused by coldness and moisture and helps with sexual energy. It also dissolves thick gases in the stomach and intestines.

Ibn Maseh: Its primary function is to reduce excess moisture in the stomach caused by consuming too much watermelon or similar foods.

Sharik al-Hindi (an Indian scholar): Ginger has moistness despite its spiciness, which increases semen production.

Al-Razi: Ginger is beneficial for cold stomachs and livers.

Ishaq bin Imran: When ginger is taken with sugar (about two dirhams in weight) mixed with warm water, it helps expel thick, sticky phlegm.

Ibn Sina (Avicenna): Ginger enhances memory, clears moisture from the head and throat, and helps with poor digestion. It also acts as an antidote for insect poisons. When preserved in honey, the honey absorbs some of its excess moisture.

Ibn-e-Sina wrote: Ginger roots are small, resembling the roots of sedge, white in color, and have a flavor similar to pepper, with a pleasant smell but not as delicate as pepper. Ginger is hot in the last degree of the third degree and dry in the second degree. It contains excess moisture which enhances its ability to increase seminal fluid. Ginger's heat is strong but takes time to manifest due to its excess moisture. However, once heated, it is very effective in softening, dissolving gases, and relieving bloating. When combined with honey, it becomes drier and intensifies its properties.
