Hello Hivers and Nature Lovers!
The topic for this challenge is Natural pharmacy, and this is my entry for this week's contest!
Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
I have not seen a ginger plant in my entire life! I have yet to see a ginger plant.
Ginger is native to warmer parts of Asia, such as China, Japan, and India, and now is grown in parts of South American and Africa. It is also now grown in the Middle East use as medicine and with food.
But ginger is abundant from any US grocery. It is an ingredient for cooking.
A great remedy
Ginger is also a popular home remedy for
- nausea
- stomach pain
- constipation
- morning sickness
- pain relief, including menstrual pain
- indigestion
- osteoarthritis
- may help with weight loss
- may drastically lower blood sugars and improve heart disease risk factors.
Contains gingerol
The unique fragrance and flavor of ginger come from its natural oils, the most important of which is gingerol.
Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger. It’s responsible for much of ginger’s medicinal properties.
Ginger tea
It is easy to make ginger tea!
Put four thin slices of ginger in a teacup. Pour in ht water and allow ti steep for one minute. You may add honey or sugar to sweetened the tea. I prefer it as is!

Yep it's very good for you. I did not know that ginger helps to lower blood sugars. My mom always adds honey to the ginger tea to make it sweet because I don't like it how it is alone.
Hahaha, it surprised me too!!!
I like it as is, with just hot water!

ENGAGEtokens.Ginger plant was not so successful in my garden, soil condition was not right being more clay composition.
We do have a wild ginger that grows in certain parts of our country, I have never seen the plant and believe it is now on red-list in our province Natal Wild Ginger
WOW, in South Africa it takes 1 year for the seed to germinate!
I think I'll just buy them from the grocers, hehehe.
Seriously, I'll try to plant some. It is Spring and time to plant!

ENGAGEtokens.Thank you for entering the competition.
Ginger is really a "powerful" plant. Grown at home has a softer taste :-)
I need to learn how to grow them.
Some are fortunate, with the time and ability to grow all sorts of plants.
I wonder if I can grow them!
Thank you, @bucipuci!
Who doesn't try it, doesn't know :-)
Hahaha!

ENGAGEtokens.Growing ginger is quite easy! You should try it so you can get a glimpse of the foliage. It is an elegant plant, whose leaves also make great tea as well.
Oh goodness! I never thought of it!
I'll try growing them this summer!
Thanks, @pixresteemer!
I have read about the many good properties of Ginger @silversaver888! Have you ever tried to chew on a piece of ginger, it's actually got bite to it!
I can't recall if I've tried any ginger tea, I'll have to give that a try by friend!😍😍😀
I've tried it both ways, I like it @silvertop!
Give it a try!
Next time we go shopping, I'll get Liz to get some I'll give it a try @silversaver888😍😍😀
Ginger is very good for a variety of things that ail a person. It has a nice 'bite' as well when chewed. Thanks for sharing sis!

I did a monthly cleanse for years using ginger, Meyer lemons, raw honey, and apple cider vinegar.
I've never tried cleansing!
Hmmmm... if I drink ginger tea once a day, is that considered cleansing, bestie @silverd510?
No. It’s specific amounts of each and goes by body weight. You have to be able to fast for 48 hours to do it though. You drink it 4 times in 48 hours. It works amazingly.
Oh, I think I'll try it, bestie! I feel so sluggish at times.
!ENGAGE 10
How can you try it if you don’t know the specific amounts?
ENGAGEtokens.I knew that ginger was very good for consumption, however I did not know that it was so much, I really appreciate this information dear friend @ silversaver888, I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon
I just use it for cooking, baking, and drinking tea!
Have a fantastic afternoon, @jlufer!!
Zingiber officinale, the name reminds me of the time I was craming some botanical names back in campus days, however, thanks for sharing ginger tea
CHEERS!!!
How many years ago was that?
Over 5 years ago
Ah... a young person!

ENGAGEtokens.Great pick by @olaexcel for Neoxian curation. You can also use the ginger powder in cookie dough but only a bit though as it is too strong. Ginger is also good for reducing most aches and even fever.
Posted via neoxian.city | The City of Neoxian
I use it for everyday cooking, baking, and tea!
For aches and pain... I really have to take more of the tea.
Thank you @sayee!
Ginger is also beneficial for our body.In many beautiful ways I learned about the benefits of ginger and its usage rules. Thank you😜😀👌
Ginger does have plenty of benefits!!!
Thanks, @sumaiya777!
