Ginger is an herb. Commonly used to treat various types of “stomach problems,” including motion sickness, morning sickness, colic, upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, nausea caused by cancer treatment, respiratory tract infections, cough, and bronchitis. Dried ginger is used for chest pain, low back pain, and stomach pain. We use it as an spices. My friend, are you using ginger in daily life?

I try to use it whenever I can since it is supposed to help with so many things. Hard to include it in some things as it changes the taste.

Hi Boylopez, Since I was a kid i learned that ginger is good for your voice. I used to be in a choir and my mom always prepares for me ginger tea/juice. I love it hot and with lemon. Later i learned that it's also good for digestion and colds and cough--ginger with lemon and honey!

Yes, ginger is a good source of herb to treat many illness, especially where stomach is concerned as well as cold and flu. I've read about how ginger drinks help in treating upset stomach because of some elements it had. Ginger is good in treating cold, especially when it's cooked together with coke or honey. I've not tried ginger coke but ginger honey is really good. It's not that bitter yet keeping sweetness to its minimum.

Ginger here is used as a herb medicine to cure and prevent cold. Usually my parents will add ginger into water to prepare a soup then add some sugar into it. the ginger soup has a peppery taste which can kill the bacteria and make people feel hot. And the sweet taste of the soup can make people like the soup. In daily life, ginger is also used as flavouring in the dishes, especially for those made by seafood. Here we think ginger can help us digest the seafood well.

Its quite cold here right now especially at night so sometimes we made ginger tea and ginger milk. Or made our favorite wedang jahe, which is just perfect.
