Ginger
Ginger is a plant wherein the rhizome or the root is widely used as a spice for cooking and folk or alternative medicine. Ginger is known to have several health benefits, such as relieving nausea and vomiting, as well as aiding in digestion. It also has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat various infections like sore throats. Ginger is available in many forms, like the whole root itself or powder form, which can be used when making ginger tea. In addition, drinking ginger tea can help reduce the pain and swelling due to sore throat.
To make ginger tea, it is advisable to use freshly chopped ginger root and boil it in half a pint of water. Using more ginger can make the flavor stronger and spicier, so this can be adjusted depending on the taste preference. Honey can also be added as a sweetener. If fresh ginger is not accessible, using the powdered form of ginger tea can still be a good alternative. Add a tablespoon of ginger tea powder to hot water and mix until dissolved. Adding more ginger tea powder can make the flavor stronger.
