Ginger

Ginger is the herb of paradise, associated with the phoenix, a mythical bird consumed by its own fire and reborn from the ashes. Self-creating and sustaining, ginger heals as it burns yellow-hot. In Asia, ginger was used ubiquitously, as a seasoning for meats and oils, a tea, perfume, medicine and an aphrodisiac. Ginger has always risen above its station; though a lowly root, it is linked to the sun and fire by cultures around the the world. Wearing the ginger charm will serve as a reminder to ignite and rise cyclically, like the phoenix. If you have fire in your belly, ginger is your ally and your remedy.
