5 Benefits of Ginger & Home Remedy for Cold

Brief History of Ginger

Ginger were actually first planted in China

 but was widely used by the ancient Romans 

in delicious cuisine and medicinal treatment 

for various illness. 

After the fall of Roman empire, nobody use

 the ginger anymore because it was an 

expensive spice where only the rich could 

afford. 

Hence, it was lost in the history until the 

Europeans found and reuse the ginger again. 

Thanks to them !

 

5 Benefits of Using Ginger

#1 : Treats cold- 

Ginger clears heat and aids in stimulating 

sweats in the body. 

Ginger enables the body to produce heat by 

warming up the body. 

Once the sweat had been released, wipe it off

 before it turns into vapor.

 Cold sweat will develop bones and muscle

 aches if left unattended. 

Ginger treats cold faster than anti-biotics 

or pills.

#2 : Warm Up Upset Stomach- 

People who love to crunch cold ice with their 

teeth and eat excess cold food or beverages

 are prone to upset stomach due to 

accumulation of coldness temperature in 

weak stomach. 

Hence, some may develop hiccups, nausea or

 vomiting symptoms.

 By drinking a cup of sweet ginger soup, the 

patient will feel better as the ginger sweet so

up warms up the stomach.

#3: Reduce Nausea and Vomiting- 

Pregnant women and 1st flight passengers 

are prone to motion sickness such as nausea 

and vomiting due to imbalance hormones

 and emotions.

 A cup of warm ginger tea helps to reduce 

the motion sickness gradually.

#4: Stop coughing-

i) irritating throat that triggers frequent

 coughing and common cold such as running 

nose and nose block could prevent children

or adults from having a comfortable sleep.

 In order to soothe the itchy throat from 

coughing, drink a cup of warm ginger tea mix

 with 1 tsp of honey. 

Drink it slowly while it is warm as ginger and

 honey help to reduce the itch and stop 

coughing.

ii) Alternatively, heat 1 slice of ginger with 

burning charcoal or toast it in a toaster. 

Rub the heated side onto the patient’s neck

 while it is hot as the ginger heat will absorb 

into the neck tissue.

iii) Caution! Apply on adult only. 

May induce red patches.

#5 : Stimulate hair growth- 

This is an unique technique to stimulate 

hair growth if you keep losing your hair 

due to ringworm infections. 

Rub freshly cut ginger onto the affected 

area 3x a day, vigorously in circular 

motion. 

Leave the ginger juice absorb into the 

scalp for 30 minutes before rinsing it off

    • @peachpurple. A detailed blog as usual. I did not know ginger stimulates hair growth. Is it to be applied on one's hair or just consumed? This information could help millions as problems with hair growth is universal.

    • Ginger has all the benefits you had mentioned. Old folks in my country use this as ginger tea. They also believed drinking this kind of tea makes the voice get better. Some singers claimed they use this to make their voice sounds good when singing. It is a very traditional way and effective to heal the coughing and makes the hoarse sound voice better.

      • Yes ginger has a great effect on the vocal cords. It soothes it, especially when it is taken as a tea

    • Nice and informative post you have there.

      The potency of ginger in treating various ailments cannot be overemphasized.
