Ginger
Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that fight infection and provide relief from pain. It can also help decongest nasal passages. Drinking ginger tea is a popular treatment for the flu, and it’s easy to prepare. First, boil water and add grated ginger. Leave it for two to three minutes before straining it to your mug. Next, add lemon and honey, and give it a nice stir to dissolve the latter.
You can use other ingredients with ginger, like green tea, to make a more potent mixture to fight the flu and other diseases. First, boil the ingredients in water for about three to five minutes. Then, let it sit for a few minutes before drinking. Ginger powder is also available and can be added to your foods. A couple of teaspoons of the powder a day is enough to see an improvement in your health.
There are several other benefits that you can use from using ginger, such as good oral health. Much like gargling salt water, it also kills harmful bacteria in the mouth that may cause sore throat. It’s also suitable for treating arthritis symptoms and calming nausea.
