Ginger, a powerful herb
http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/lindsey-duncan-nd-cn/ginger-powerful-herb?sp_rid=MTQzMzc3NjEzS0&sp_mid=1080416
I eat fresh and/or dried ginger everyday. I put a little in hot cereal in the morning and in whatever I make for dinner. It does not change the taste of food and is good for digestion. I keep a little ginger in my bag and always have ginger ale or ginger tea around to enjoy. I have never had nausea. A friend uses it for sore throats. It is good for alot of other things too.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
Hi Elaine! Thanks for the reminder. I was on a good smoothie kick for awhile, but then got slack. You've inspired me to resume. I was using Dr. Oz's green smoothie recipe, but was also adding flax seed, turmeric, and olive oil. If you don't get carried away with the turmeric, the ginger and parsley flavor will 'hide' it.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
When I was young, my Mother would cook a big pot of ginger soup (ginger, water, 'red' sugar) whenever there's a thunderstorm (usually in the afternoons). After walking home from school, I would drink a couple of cups of the fresh ginger soup after changing into dry clothes. (No umbrella, rain coat, and/or rain boots could completely shield us from the sub-tropical downpour.) Oftentimes I also get to eat an egg that's cooked in the ginger soup. This was the way for us to avoid catching a 'cold'.
Green onions, ginger, and garlic are the three essential ingredient in Chinese cooking.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
Thanks for sharing Jackie and Bill.
I bet the ginger soup was comforting after getting wet in the rain Jackie.
I put fresh ginger in white miso soup with veggies, onions and garlic, which I drink when I catch cold.
I guess you and are are Dr. Oz fans Bill. I have learned so much from him. I use a lot of tumeric (curcumin) too.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
Sounds good Jackie. I will try that one. I often combine ginger, onion and garlic in a dish. I also put a small amount of fresh ginger in fruit and yoghurt smoothies for a very refreshing taste.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
Sometimes I'll buy a huge amount of fresh ginger, then juice it all and freeze it in little amounts to add to recipes as needed. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays with a little water, then pop them out once they're frozen and store them in a ziplock bag to add to meals whenever you want.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
I have to try that. I peel and freeze fresh ginger, but I never thought of juicing it and putting it in ice cube trays.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
We started drinking Ginger tea after dinner/before bed this winter. Digestive problems are not common with me and hubby, but the tea was really nice and now we always keep some around.
I love pickled ginger and buy that from time to time!

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
The ice cube tray is a great trick for other fresh herbs too. I find many clients won't purchase fresh herbs because they spoil but the cubes work great when thrown into a sauce/soup, etc.

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
Tanya, while we're on the ice cube topic, you can also do this with lemon juice (or any citrus). True, you could buy the liquid stuff...ick... but this is so much better

Re: Ginger, a powerful herb
I do that when I make fresh juice. I freeze a little in ice cube trays for an added surprise when the fruit is not in season. For example I can freeze watermelon juice in ice cube trays and then add it to cool drinks when watermelon is not in season. I freeze lemon juice sometimes and then add it to recipes calling for lemon.
One can also make healthy ice pops with 100% juice to eat when the weather is hot.
