What if I told you that you could treat a number of illnesses just by sipping on a delicious tea? No, really its true and here is how!
Due to its strong anti-inflammatory, anti=parasitic, antiviral and antibacterial properties ginger is considered to be one of the most powerful foods of our century. “Everything good is found in ginger,” states an old Indian proverb. That is why Ayurveda often refers to ginger as a universal medicine.
Researchers say the active volatile oils and pungent phenol compounds, such as gingerols and shogaols, are what gives ginger its power.
