Honey and Ginger Remedy

Honey ginger is an ancient tonic particularly popular in Asian, Indian, and Arabic herbal traditions and cultures whereby honey water is used as a medium for transmitting the benefits of the ginger root to the body. Read below for its many medicinal benefits without all the side-effects of synthetic medicines.

All you would need are:

1 tablespoon of freshly grated/finely chopped ginger

1 tablespoon honey

1 cup of hot water/tea

Ready to go in just a few simple steps:

1. Prepare the grated ginger in a cup and pour hot boiling water/tea.

2. Let it steep for 5-10 minutes and remove the ginger with a strainer.

3. Add honey when the drink has cooled down to some extent.

Many Health Benefits:

The honey and ginger tonic is best known as a remedy for digestive issues. Like a natural herbal antibiotic, the spicy mixture, with its inherent antioxidant properties, volatile oils and phenol compounds, stimulates the body immunity of those with a weak digestion system, fights toxins, aids in moving food through the stomach and digestive tract, and treats stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating sensation and colic conditions.

The honey ginger combination is also a popular cold regiment for many people as it effectively deals with common cold and flu symptoms. With a squeeze of fresh lemon juice added, this tangy drink soothes scratchy throat, acts as an excellent expectorant for cough, helps clear sinuses, and provides good relief from headache, and runny nose.

Another frequently cited benefit of this old school concoction is its usefulness as a natural pain killer. Reducing inflammation, it alleviates swelling and pain in arthritis case, and brings relief to migraines and discomfort from menstrual cramps.

Let me know if you try it, how well it works.
