Ginger
Ginger
is one of the favourite herbs as it has been used for healing
for over 5000 years in Indian and China and is considered to have
potent medicinal properties. Ginger is considered a warming herb
and the part which offers the most medicinal properties is called
the rhizome and grows underground. Ginger has been found to provider
relief for:
- respiratory infections - decongestant
- inflammation - anti-inflammatory properties
- nausea or vomiting
- menstrual cramps
- rheumatoid arthritis
- digestive ailments
- circulatory disorders - stimulates circulation
- bad breath - freshens
- fever
- cough and colds
- pain - toothaches, earaches, headaches
Incorporating ginger into your daily nutritional plan is an easy step towards natural wellness. Steep a few pieces of fresh ginger with a teaspoon of honey and a slice of lemon for a hot tea drink. Breathing in the steam when it is steeping really opens up to open sinus passages. Drinking this 2-3 times a day if you have a cold is said to help speed up the recovery time from the cold symptoms.
