Ginger chai has now become world-famous as the best remedy to ward off cold
Ginger, garlic and onions are important herbs used in cuisine all over the world, and that is because of their healing qualities. For a long while, man has been healed by Ginger, which improves circulation, helps break down blood clots, and is also supposed to prevent heart attacks.
In the East, cold, cough, winter related problems and breathlessness has been cured with a cup of ginger tea, with one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, dried ginger and fennel.
Plenty of Ginger in the winters means no coughing.
In the same way, if you are suffering from coughing, wheezing, a hoarse voice, and chest pain in the winter, all you have to do is take one teaspoonful of lime juice and one of ginger juice and two pinches of rock salt, drink it down. Keep repeating as often as possible throughout the day, until you are cured.
Let me tell you one really amusing cure, which I found out for myself – how to Prevent Jet Lag
This is effective for all those frequent flyers, who come back home after a tiring trip and conk out for the next 12 hours, while their body catches up in their time zone.
Just take a 00 size capsule of ginger powder – 107 mg, – 4000 milligrams make 1 teaspoon – so I would suggest going to a chemist, and asking him to measure out the ginger and make up some capsules. Take one capsule an hour before you board your flight.
No jet lag. Any frequent flyer who has found this remedy to be effective can pass the glad word around and give credit to yours truly. This has nothing to do with Ayurveda, but this is everything to do with ginger and its properties!
