If you’re like me, the word ginger has you thinking of certain delicious holiday treats. Some of the most common are gingersnaps, ginger cuts, spiced apple pie, and tummy drop ginger. Tummy drop is a candy specifically created to contain healing properties to fight against morning sickness or motion sickness.
Ginger is proving to contain numerous health benefits and is able to be supplemented in multiple different ways such as capsules, spices, powder, and most popularly, crystallization. In the same family as turmeric, ginger has a history dating back towards Southeast Asia for the benefits it contains to support various health needs, including upset stomachs.
According to Healthline.com, ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory, therefore it is especially great for soothing upset stomachs. Because of its potency, many of the products including ginger sweeten it up. For the making of crystallized ginger, you can easily buy the ingredients yourself and create a beneficial candy from home! To create this tasty treat, simply add water, sugar, ginger, heat, and dry! Specific directions can be found on Nhc.com.
For myself, I will easily make my way over to Jamba Juice where they keep concentrated juices on tap containing ginger, lemon, and other varieties of healthy flavors. I even enjoy my ginger essential oil that I diffuse into the air at night or in the morning before I head to work. An article from Nih.gov also explains the thousands of years ginger has increased as a beneficial dietary product on the market due to its many healing properties. To me, it makes sense that I should take advantage of such a natural benefit.
Always consult a doctor first, but incorporating healthier options into your life, that are natural with so many proven benefits, is something to consider. After all, a Healthy You, is a Happy You!
