The regular consumption of ginger
boosts the immune system in winter, and in case of chronic exhaustion and
fatigue.
Ginger is recommended as a
preventive tool against colds, inflammation of the airways and the digestive
system, and its anti- inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects are due
to gingerols, the active substances in the root.
Apart from preventing the symptoms
of cold, it encourages circulation and warms the body, stimulates sweat and
enhances the secretion of toxins. These are some of the reasons why ginger is
often used for detoxification of the body.
You can obtain best effects if you
use fresh ginger, but it can also be consumed as a tea, in compote, or in
freshly squeezed juices.
Ginger is also useful in eliminating
problems with the digestive system, so it should be added to meals. A drop of
its essential oil in a glass of water will prevent cramps or bloating of the
stomach after meals.
Moreover, ginger is one of the main
ingredients in the preparation of Tibetan Tea, which is a remarkable kind of
tea for longevity.
Drink Tibetan tea in sips throughout
the day, or even better, a cup before each meal, in order to obtain good health
and longevity.
Ingredients:
5g grated ginger
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 pinch of ground hot pepper
1 pinch of anise

cool it down. Add the ginger, lemon juice, honey, pepper and anise. Drink it in
little sips throughout the day, or even better, consume a cup before each meal.

people.
