>Chinese people say it helps the wind escape from your bones or some shit
Yeah ginger helps digestion and clearing out your intestines. Which in traditional medicine is the root cause for many disease (slow motility).
In SE Asia we drink Tolak Angin, which literally means Push Wind. It helps to expel the evil stinky wind from our bowels. It's primary ingredients are two types of ginger.
Their advertising slogan is:
"Smart people drink Tolak Angin"
