This week's post is all about "Ginger root". For centuries, ginger has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat colds, stomachaches, nausea and indigestion. It is treasured in Asian cuisine with its tangy, lemony and spicy taste. It is a favored go-to herbal remedy for those who believe in natural healing. Some who are older may remember our Grandmothers giving us ginger-ale when we had a stomachache. Back then it actually had ginger in it! In 1982 it beat out Dramamine in a head-to-head test when blindfolded volunteers were spun in a tilted rotating chair. It is now considered a nontoxic broad-spectrum anti-vomiting agent in countering nausea, vomiting, motion sickness. It helps to calm the effects of nausea in pregnancy, chemo, radiation and after surgery. Ginger has its most effects in late winter. On cold damp days, a steaming hot cup of ginger tea warms your bones and burns up congestion and mucus. For congestion in the back of your throat, make a syrup of 1/4 tsp each of dry ginger, turmeric and black pepper mixed into 1 tsp of raw honey. Slowly lick over 15 minutes, repeating up to three times per day. When you combine ginger with black pepper and dried pippali it forms an Ayuredic formula called "trikatu". This formula is excellent for eliminating mucus and congestion in the lungs.
Other benefits include;
*Anti-inflammatory.
*Anti-aging.
*Reduces pain from exercise.
*Assists in weight loss.
*Treats anemia (stimulates production of blood cells).
*Helps manages diabetes (combining honey and ginger reduces oxidative stress).
*Helps to prevent liver disease (gingerols helps improves insulin resistance).
You can find fresh ginger in the produce aisle of most all grocery stores. Make sure it is firm to touch, not dried out or wilted. For a quick pick me up, peel the skin (if not organic), finely chop about a tbsp and steep in hot water for 2-3 minutes, add some honey and enjoy!

Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.for my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
ReplyDeleteUp to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet began to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr God hands whom god has bleesed with ancestral herbs gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis... so i make a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have being watching my health for 6 years now and I actually comfirmed that his herbal medicines are permamnent cure and I'm so happy that i came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr God hands Email: doctorgodhands@gmail.com WhatsApp: +2349057214220. if you gone through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because really honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
