Fresh Ginger with his friend Tea

First magical function of ginger, cleaning the ginger and then peeling it, cutting the peeled ginger into ginger slices, and then cutting the ginger slices into ginger shreds. The ginger shreds should be slightly thinner, which can make the nutrients in the ginger easier to come out. After cutting the ginger into shreds, we put it into the cup, then add an appropriate amount of tea to the cup, and then pour it into boiling water to soak for 5 minutes. After soaking, you can drink it as a tea. Drinking ginger tea regularly is very good for our body and can help us drive away cold and dampness, prevent colds, boost the immune system and enhance the ability to fight for illness.

Second magical function of ginger, it can alleviate the discomfort  of motion sickness and headache. First get a cup, then we peeled and sliced the ginger into the cup, then added an appropriate amount of tea, and then poured boiling water. Wait for a few minutes after soaking. If someone has motion sickness like car sickness, they can drink a little ginger and tea water before getting in the car. This can relieve the symptoms of vomiting and dizziness during motion sickness. If you know any of your friends who suffer from motion sickness, you can suggest them to try this method. This natural method is way better and healthier than taking motion sickness medicine.

Third ginger and tea trick is to relieve women’s abdominal pain during or before menstruation. Let’s prepare a slightly large pot, add the appropriate amount of ginger slices and tea leaves in the pot or tea pouch instead, and then add boiling water to soak it. After soaking for a few minutes, we take out a towel, dip it in ginger tea water, and place it on the abdomen or belly button area for 20 minutes. Please repeat this procedure as many times as you want because you need to make sure your tummy is warm to slightly hot. Last, once you feel better, you can just dump the rest of the ginger tea water, and there is no need to drink a lot of warm water.

Fourth trick or tip is that ginger tea water can be used to soak feet. If children at home catch cold, running nose and cough, and you don’t want to give them any medication, now you can utilize the ginger tea water to soak their feet and massage the acupressure “ yongquan”  which can dispel dampness and cold, as well as reduce physical fatigue.
