Health Benefits of Sukku (Dry Ginger)

Aids Digestion & Gut Health

Sukku is renowned for its ability to stimulate digestive fire (Agni), making it highly effective in treating indigestion, bloating, flatulence, and nausea. It enhances nutrient absorption and soothes gastrointestinal discomfort.

Natural Immunity Booster

Its warming and anti-inflammatory nature makes Sukku an excellent immune-strengthening herb, especially during cold and flu seasons. It helps reduce cough, clear phlegm, and support respiratory health.

Effective in Detox & Weight Management

Dry Ginger acts as a natural detoxifier, supporting liver health and metabolism. It promotes fat breakdown and is often used in Ayurvedic formulations for managing weight and reducing Kapha-related imbalances.

Relief from Aches & Menstrual Discomfort

Sukku is also valued for its analgesic and antispasmodic properties. It provides relief from joint pain, body aches, and menstrual cramps when taken in appropriate doses or applied externally as part of herbal compresses.
