Tips:
Certain chemical compounds in fresh ginger help your body ward off germs, and they may also keep viruses at bay. Ginger’s antibacterial power may keep oral bacteria from growing; helps if you’re trying to ease a queasy stomach (especially during pregnancy); breaks up and gets rid of built-up gas in your intestines; is said to tame muscle soreness over time; is anti-inflammatory; is said to slow down the growth of some cancers; may help lower blood sugars and cholesterol; eases period pain; helps your body fight off chronic diseases; and relieves indigestion.
Raw honey is a good source of antioxidants and has antibacterial and antifungal properties; helps heal wounds; is a phytonutrient powerhouse; helps with digestive issues and soothes a sore throat.
