Fighting my flu with GINGER HONEY & LEMON TEA

Friday, 6 January 2012

So for the last three days I have been at home in bed ill with a terrible flu, I haven't been able to go to work, my whole body aches, my joints kill, my head pounds... you name it!!! I have been taking Day and Night Nurse tablets but because I am someone who has a really weak stomach, and doesn't do strong medication, natural home remedies are a must for me... so after doing my reading and gathering up as much info as I can, I found that making a tea with the following ingrediants really does wonders!

GINGER - HONEY - LEMON

It's amazing how good much goodness it has done for me... And not only that... the benefits that it also has for other things are amazing! Here are 8 benefits of GINGER TEA

1. Impedes Motion Sickness
Ginger tea can soothe nerves and prevent vomiting, as well as eradicate headaches and migraines. It also keeps you from being nauseous during a trip, so drink a cup of ginger tea before setting off on your travels.



2. Combats Stomach Discomfort
Ginger tea is ideal in assisting digestion, thereby improving
food absorption and avoiding possible tummy aches from too much food intake. Unnecessary belching can also be thwarted by ginger tea. What’s more, ginger tea enhances your appetite when you’re feeling bloated, by helping to release gastric acids that aid in digestion.

3. Reduces Inflammation
Ginger tea can ease inflammation of the joints, which is commonly referred to as rheumatoid arthritis. It is also effective in alleviating tired, sore muscles and joints. A warm ginger tea soak can lessen swelling and puffiness. If you have athlete’s foot, ginger tea is recommended as a foot soak to lessen the painful burning sensation that comes with itching.

4. Fights Common Respiratory Problems
Drinking ginger tea is recommended if you’re suffering from common respiratory diseases such as cold and cough. Ginger aids in loosening up phlegm and expanding your lungs, so you can recover quickly from difficulty in breathing. It also helps appease allergies and constant sneezing due to hay fever.

5. Encourages Normal Blood Circulation
Consuming a cup of ginger tea can help improve blood flow, as well as help prevent chills, fever and excessive sweating. The active components of ginger, such as minerals and amino acids, help make the blood flow smoothly, preventing the onset of cardiovascular disease.

6. Remedies Menstrual Discomfort
If you are a woman suffering from menstrual cramps, try placing a hot towel drenched in ginger tea on your uterine area to overcome the pain and relax the muscles. Drinking a cup of ginger tea can also provide a soothing effect.

7. Strengthens Immunity
Ginger tea has antioxidants that help improve the immune system. Drinking a cup of ginger tea every day can also help foil potential risks of a stroke by inhibiting fatty deposits from clogging the arteries. Ginger has also been proven successful in lowering cholesterol levels and preventing cancer.

8. Relieves Stress
Taking a whiff of ginger tea can help improve your mood and give you a sunny disposition. It leaves you feeling refreshed and calm, and if you’re having a bad day, all those negative vibes will dissipate. Ginger tea is a remarkable stress reliever because of its comforting and relaxing scent.
