Ginger is one of the most well-researched and traditionally revered botanicals across cultures, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. Its benefits span from circulatory and digestive support to immune modulation, metabolic enhancement, cognitive resilience, and even longevity support. Japanese 4 Ginger is a liquid extract of 4 types of indigenous Japanese ginger roots, and delivers a full-spectrum nutrient profile with synergistic effects for circulation, digestion, warmth, immunity, and culinary alchemy.
Not all ginger is created equal. Each variety in this blend has its own unique phytochemical signature and energetic properties. Together, they offer a more complete spectrum of benefits than any single ginger can.
Traditional Wisdom Meets Modern Wellness
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ginger is more than a spice — it’s a foundational tool for:
- Warming the digestive fire (Yang energy)
- Dispersing cold and dampness
- Improving Qi circulation
- Supporting lung and immune health
- Easing nausea, bloating, and fatigue
By combining four distinct ginger energies, Japanese 4 Ginger becomes a unique tool for adaptation, resilience, and vitality, especially in colder seasons or high-stress environments.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healthy circulation isn’t just about moving blood, it’s about free-flowing Qi (life force), the uninhibited movement of fluids, nutrients, and energy through the body’s channels and meridians.
When circulation is strong:
- Organs are nourished
- Digestion is efficient
- Immunity is resilient
- The mind feels clear and grounded
- The spirit (Shen) is calm and luminous
When circulation stagnates:
- We feel cold, stiff, bloated, or foggy
- Pain can arise, especially in joints or lower abdomen
- Energy declines
- Emotional tension builds
Ginger, in its various traditional forms, has long been used to “disperse cold” and “invigorate blood”, two core actions in TCM that target stagnation and deficiency.
Versatile & Potent
Take your 4 Ginger like you would take a tincture, or infuse it into your food ritual.
Add a couple droppers into hot miso soup, mix into broths, teas, or elixirs. Pair with stir-fries, rice, or congee. Use straight under the tongue for fast effect.
Japanese 4 Ginger supports warmth where it’s lacking, especially in:
- The gut
- Lower back (Kidneys)
- Extremities (hands and feet)
- Lungs (for better respiration)
From a modern integrative perspective, enhanced circulation also supports:
- Lymphatic drainage
- Cellular oxygenation
- Hormonal transport
- Inflammation resolution
When blood and Qi move freely, the body can clear what it doesn’t need and deliver what it does.
What else does 4 Ginger support?
Immunomodulation & Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Contains gingerols, shogaols, and zingerone, which modulate the immune response.
Reduces inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha) and inhibits NF-κB pathway.
May help regulate immune overactivity in autoimmunity or chronic infections. Natural antimicrobial effects support gut and respiratory immunity. Often used for “wind-cold invasion” — the early stages of colds, chills, and lung congestion.
Brain Health & Neuroprotection
Increases acetylcholine activity, supporting memory and cognition. Antioxidant actions help reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. May counteract “cold stagnation” in the brain — linked with foggy thinking and depressive states. In energetic terms, promotes movement of Shen (spirit) and clears mental sluggishness caused by internal damp.
Detoxification Support
Stimulates sweating and lymphatic flow, aiding in natural detox processes. Activates the diaphoresis pathway — gently opening the skin to release surface-level pathogens. Enhances bile flow and liver phase I/II activity. Often used to "release the exterior" and drive pathogens out via sweating.
Metabolic Health & Insulin Sensitivity
Shown to reduce fasting blood glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.
Enhances mitochondrial energy production via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways. May help reduce appetite and cravings in metabolic syndrome.
Pain Relief & Musculoskeletal Recovery
Anti-inflammatory properties rival NSAIDs in certain conditions.
Reduces muscle soreness post-exercise. Traditionally used for arthritic stiffness and menstrual cramps.
Respiratory Health
Opens the lungs and eases breathing. Helps resolve cold phlegm, sinus congestion, and cough. Traditionally used in bronchodilatory and expectorant formulas.
