Fresh ginger is great for soothing sore throats and respiratory infections. It's also excellent for colds and flu, digestion, nausea, motion sickness, gas, bloating, and menstrual cramps. I used to think it tasted like flowers, but it doesn't really. It tastes like ginger and it's kinda spicy!
Ginger Tea:
To peel ginger, use the edge of a spoon. That makes it easy!
In a small pot, add 2 cups of water. Peel 1" of ginger and then grate it into the water. Simmer on med. low for 20 min. Remove from heat and strain. Add honey to taste. Can also add lemon if desired.
If you feel like you are getting sick, make up a batch and sip it through the day. You can also rub this on sore muscles.
You can take a ginger bath. Add tea to bath.
