Why is ginger considered the 'nemesis' of flu?
Physician Vu Quoc Trung, Traditional Medicine Clinic of Cam Ung Pagoda, Hanoi, said that like turmeric, ginger is a good food to support the treatment of flu and colds, helping the body strengthen its immunity to fight diseases.
In Oriental medicine, ginger is a spicy, warm medicine that affects the three meridians of the lungs, spleen, and stomach, helping to reduce wind-cold, dissolve phlegm, treat coughs, promote urination, and detoxify. This yellow spice readily available in the kitchen is often used to treat flu, colds, stomachaches caused by colds, coughs, and phlegm.
Thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, ginger can help soothe a sore throat and reduce coughs. Ginger will also stimulate sweating, reduce body temperature, and help fight colds.
When you have the flu, some people may feel nauseous or lose their appetite. Ginger can help aid digestion, reduce nausea, and stimulate appetite, helping the body recover more quickly.
Modern medical research has also shown that ginger contains antioxidant compounds, including an active ingredient known for its anti-cancer properties called B-elemene. In addition to drinking tea, combined with honey, you can use fresh ginger to prepare dishes.
