Amazing Health Benefits of Ginger Tea
12/15/2023
My first interest in ginger root began after reading about how it was used to treat seasickness for fishermen at sea and found to be quite effective.
I have found ginger to be quite useful in the kitchen and for medicinal purposes for my family — particularly in the treatment of various “tummy ailments.”
I always try and make the strongest ginger tea with manuka honey to keep my voice in shape. — Anne-Marie
Medicinal Ginger
The medicinal use of ginger goes back 5000 years when it was considered a tonic to treat all ailments in ancient China and in India. Long used for culinary and medicinal purposes, ginger can be consumed fresh, in powder form, as an oil or juice, as a dried spice or used in tinctures, extracts, or taken by capsule or lozenge.
Commonly produced in Fiji, Australia, Jamaica, Indonesia, and India, ginger is a part of the family Zingiberaceae (as are Cardamom and turmeric.) Aside from the particularly effective, natural nausea-fighting benefits of ginger, the root system, or rhizome, of the ginger plant has multiple health benefits.
