Cold and Flu relief- Ginger has antiviral and antimircobial properties that can help prevent or cut the duration of the stuffy nose, sore throat, aches and pains. Add it into tea or hot water with lemon.
Cancer prevention- Gingers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds can help fight against free radicals and slow or prevent tumor growth.
Motion Sickness- Not just for pregnant mommies to be... chewing on some ginger can help relieve that woozy feeling we come across now and then. Have some dired ginger or drizzle a little honey on ginger and enjoy!
Hangover got you down? Ginger might help as well. Mix with some calming tea, lemon and honey and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Ginger is also great for stimulating digestion, and soothing pain. Ayurveda associates ginger with its aphrodisiac properties as well.... (you and your honey can try some ginger for dessert with your ice cream)
So whatever your reason, try adding some ginger into your diet this week.
~You can add it to fresh juices, or tea.
~Add fresh grated ginger to soups for a nice spicy zest.
~Goes wonderful with fish, top it on a salad or blend it into a smoothie.
Namaste! ♥
