Ginger
We all know this plant and we often use it in tea or food. People love it because of the smell and the taste that it adds to the food but they have never thought of its benefits. Today I want us to look at its benefits. It's use as a medicine and it is mostly known in curing flu and common cold but it has more benefits than that.
Here are ginger medicinal values:
- Ginger lowers cholesterol levels
- It's helps in treating chronic indigestion which is known as dypepsias
- It contains a substance that helps in preventing cancer
- It improves brain function and protects it against Alzheimer's disease
- Ginger helps in reducing pain as effectively as a drug metanamic acid and ibuprofen
- It also helps in alleviating nausea which is caused by chemotherapy
- It drastically lowers blood sugar
- It improves heart disease risk factor
- And finally it cures nausea and helps in fighting flu and common cold
Maybe you've never thought of ginger as a medicine but now you know what it is good for. But always remember too much of something is poisonous.
NB: before you use ginger as a medicine it is important to consult a physician for help.
