Yes : While not one of the top immune-enhancing herbs, ginger does benefit the immune system. It has antibacterial, anti-viral & anti-parasitic activity. It has activity against certain types of cancer. It can stimulate phagocytosis & activate t-cells & modulate th2.

Ginger Use: Ginger is commonly used to treat nausea, vomiting and stomach upset. While it may be used in traditional medicine to treat common colds or other simple ailments, no immune enhancing properties have been proven. As with any over the counter or herbal medication, speak with your doctor before taking. Many otc and herbal medications can interact with any prescription meds you may be taking.
