One test-tube study indicated that fresh ginger was effective against human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), which can cause respiratory tract infections in infants, children, and adults ( Another test-tube study found that ginger extract blocked the growth of several strains of respiratory tract pathogens ( A mouse study also noted that taking ginger extract blocked the activation of several pro-inflammatory immune cells and decreased symptoms of seasonal allergies, such as sneezing ( Similarly, animal and test-tube studies have shown that curcumin possesses anti-viral properties and can help reduce the severity of influenza A virus ( Both turmeric and ginger can also decrease levels of inflammation, which can help improve immune function ( However, most research is limited to test-tube and animal studies using concentrated doses of turmeric or ginger
