Health and Fitness: New Cream Uses Ginger Root For Effective Pain Relief

ZingiberRX Joint & Muscle Cream Launches In North America
www.HealthSonix.com.

(Irvine, California) - A new natural product made from ginger is bringing new hope for people suffering from aches and pain related to arthritis, sore muscles and injured or inflamed tendons and ligaments. Ongoing research into the medicinal properties of various plants in the ginger (Zingiberacea) family has now isolated the Zingiber cassumunar species for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving activity. HealthSonix, Inc. is introducing a new natural joint and muscle cream called ZingiberRx Joint & Muscle Cream containing the essential oil and powder from the rhizome, the root-like stem of the Zingiber cassumunar plant.

The "roots" of the use of ginger as medicine go back centuries. Chinese medical texts from fourth century B.C. indicated ginger is effective in treating nausea, diarrhea, stomach aches, cholera, toothaches, bleeding and rheumatism. The ginger plant was later used by Chinese herbalists to treat a variety of respiratory conditions, including coughs and the early stages of colds. Today people in Southeast Asia rub the sliced rhizome of the naturally occurring Zingiber cassumunar plant on aching muscles and painful joints. The plant grows in tropical climates.

HealthSonix company scientists have discovered a special distillation process to extract the essential oil from the rhizome and to formulate it as an effective, fast-absorbing, deep-penetrating topical cream. One study suggests a component of the essential oil of Zingiber cassumunar found in ZingiberRx inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) enzyme, which is known to play a central role in inflammatory diseases and pain. This mechanism of action is actually the basis of the effectiveness and worldwide success of the Cox-2 inhibitors, prescription medications used in the treatment of arthritis pain and inflammatory conditions.

ZingiberRx is uniquely positioned between prescription drugs and the 'quick cures' that cool or burn the skin. Unlike most over-the-counter creams, ZingiberRx is not a counter-irritant; it does not create a hot or a cold sensation like menthol for a cooling effect or capsaicin for a heating effect. Basically, these ingredients simply take your mind off of your primary pain. A topical natural herbal cream with anti-inflammatory activity, that when applied regularly, can provide the user with enhanced flexibility and pain relief is now available: ZingiberRx.

ZingiberRx Joint and Muscle Cream sells without prescription for $24.95 for the 80g tube, plus shipping. Orders may be placed online www.HealthSonix.com or ordered directly from the company by calling (877) 622-2121 toll-free in North America or (905) 212-7711 for international orders.
