Ginger Root
We are always seeking a magic solution to our health and sometimes the answer is so simple we might say why didn’t I try that. Ginger root is very cost effective and something everyone should incorporate into their daily lifestyle. Ginger has medicinal value that dates back thousands of years. It’s actually the rhizome of the ginger plant, and as a widely cultivated herb, it’s used in various forms across the world in foods, drinks, and beauty products. Ancient texts and literature from the Middle East, Asia, and Europe talk of the immense benefits of the root. In holistic medical practices such as Chinese and Indian Ayurveda, ginger is viewed as a gift from God.

QUOTE: Fresh ginger combined with cumin and coriander helps to break down high-protein foods such as meat and beans, and lessens the formation of uric acid in the body. With beans, it counters the problems of flatulence. In Indian cooking, no dhal or bean dish is ever contemplated without the addition of ginger. Here we have a great secret of traditional cuisine – food that not only sustains life and promotes growth, but also incorporates cooking techniques that aid digestion.
