Ginger is popular not only among fans of Japanese cuisine, but also among those who look after their health. This aromatic root has many beneficial properties, so it should always be in the diet. At the same time, it can be used both fresh and in powder form.
Antiseptic properties of ginger
Ginger is a powerful natural antiseptic. It has bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Due to the fact that this plant is capable of suppressing pathogenic flora, it prevents harmful bacteria from developing. This is why ginger is an essential ingredient in Japanese cuisine, where fish is often served raw.
Ginger for fresh breath
To freshen your breath and get rid of the unpleasant odor, you just need to chew a small piece of ginger or simply rub your teeth with it.
Ginger as a pain reliever
Ginger root helps relieve pain from toothache to muscle pain. If a tooth bothers you, you need to chew a piece of ginger and leave it on the tooth. To get rid of a headache, you need to grate ginger (about a teaspoon) and mix with water to get a homogeneous mass, then apply it to your forehead. For muscle pain, you can boil a few tablespoons of ginger powder in a liter of water for 10 minutes. The ready-made broth should be poured into a bath of hot water - it will relieve muscle tension as if by hand.
Ginger for colds
Antiseptic properties and high vitamin C content make ginger an excellent remedy for flu and colds. For prevention, you can regularly drink ginger tea, and if the disease is caught by surprise, it is recommended to use a simple recipe for a healing drink: cut the ginger root into pieces (the more, the better), pour boiling water, add a slice of lemon, mint leaves and a little cinnamon. As soon as the drink cools down a little, add a teaspoon of honey to it and drink it in small sips - both tasty and healthy!
Ginger as an aphrodisiac
Ginger stimulates blood circulation (especially in the pelvic organs), and this causes arousal, increasing potency.
Ginger for motion sickness
For seasickness, fresh ginger root is a great help. You can chew small pieces or just inhale its smell - this will help get rid of nausea, relieve lethargy and drowsiness.
