I believe that in our daily life, we can see the shadow of ginger in many dishes we eat. Ginger has a unique taste and can also improve our appetite, so many friends like to eat it cold with ginger. In fact, some experienced elderly friends know that ginger has a good effect of dispelling cold and relieving cough. It has a particularly good effect on colds and flu. So what are the effects of traditional Chinese medicine ginger? In the next time, please take a look with me.

Effects of ginger:

1. Ginger is used for colds, fever, chills, etc.

Ginger is used to relieve exterior symptoms, mainly to dispel wind and cold. It is often used to treat mild colds. Boil it into a soup, add brown sugar and drink it while hot. It often causes sweating and the symptoms are relieved. It can also be used as a medicine to prevent colds. Ginger has a weak diaphoretic effect and is often used together with ephedra, cinnamon twig, etc. as an auxiliary medicine for diaphoresis and antipyretic, which can enhance the diaphoretic effect.

2. Ginger is used for detoxification.

Ginger can detoxify fish and crabs, either used alone or with perilla. Ginger can also detoxify raw pinellia and raw arisaema. It can be decocted into a soup and drunk, and can be used to treat symptoms such as hoarseness, swollen tongue and numbness caused by the toxicity of pinellia and arisaema. Therefore, when preparing Pinellia and Arisaema, ginger is often used together to reduce their toxicity.

3. Ginger is used for stomach cold and vomiting.

Ginger is an important antiemetic and can be used alone to treat vomiting due to stomach cold. It can also treat stomach heat vomiting when used together with Pinellia, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, and Coptis chinensis.

Ginger can prevent stomach problems:

When you feel unappetizing or have a reduced appetite, eating a few slices of ginger or adding a little ginger to the dish can improve your appetite and increase your appetite. Ginger can also be taken to treat gastric ulcer, cold gastritis, enteritis and colds to dispel cold and induce sweating, warm the stomach and stop vomiting, and kill bacteria and relieve pain. Ginger is also a traditional Chinese medicine for treating nausea and vomiting, and is known as the "holy medicine for vomiting." In summer, especially during the dog days, bacteria grow and reproduce abnormally actively, which can easily contaminate food and cause acute gastroenteritis. However, eating some ginger properly can play a preventive and therapeutic role. Ginger can also kill oral and intestinal pathogens. In summer, people like to stay cool and like to use fans and air conditioners, which makes it easy for them to catch colds. Drinking some ginger and sugar water at this time will help expel the cold from the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger can "open up the mind", that is, refresh the brain, so for people who often experience dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness and nausea at this time, drinking some ginger soup will be very beneficial. In addition, ginger is pungent and warm, and can promote blood circulation. Women who eat ginger can also resist aging and reduce the occurrence of gallstones.
