Ginger is such an important ingredient in all Asian cuisine and for good reason too. Not only does it season and add flavor to your culinary delights, it has definite health benefits attached to it. It is used to relieve cold–related symptoms, particularly those experienced by those who suffer from arthritis. Add fresh ginger root or dried ginger to your food while cooking. Or, simply help yourself to some ginger tea. Just peel and grate about 2.5 cm length of fresh ginger root in a vessel. Add boiling water and a teaspoon of honey to it. Steep it for about 10 minutes, strain and drink. This mixture would help you get rid of flatulence as well.
