NATASHA DAVIS IS A
GINGER TEA
Research has revealed that ginger
provides numerous therapeutic
properties, including inhibiting the
formation of inflammatory compounds,
antioxidant effects, and relaxation and
soothing of the intestinal tract. Being
that it is also a diaphoretic, it warms you
from the inside and promotes
perspiration – thus helping to rid the body
of wastes and toxins that may otherwise
cause us to get sick! This is a simple tea
to include when you start to feel a cold
coming on, or if you just want to feel
good and get some warmth! Juice a 1-
inch cube of ginger or mince up if you
don’t have a juicer, and add to 1 cup of
hot water. Let the juices steep and enjoy.
You can add in cardamom or cinnamon
for extra flavour and digestive support!
