Ginger and Lemon

There are many home remedies that my mum uses to give us when we fell sick. The best part is that it worked well and really cured some of the common diseases.

Ginger is a very useful ingredient that is still used by Chinese family to cure some common diseases. When I have a headache, my mum will ask me to take one tablespoon of powered ginger. After taking it, my headache went off and I felt better. Similarly, a tablespoon of powdered ginger can ease the pain of joint as well.

Ginger helps to thin blood and it does not cause stomach upsets or side effects like many drugs do. In addition, gingers help to reduce coughs and bring comfort to us. For those who feel cold or shivering, it is always better to have a bowl of ginger soup.

Ginger also helps to stop toothache. It has been an awful experience to have a toothache in the middle of night as it affects your sleep. To stop the pain, cut a slice of fresh ginger, apply it on the affected area and start biting on it till the pain is gone. If your toothache still cannot be relieved with this method, you have to see a dentist.

Lemon is another great thing in the kitchen. A single wedge of lemon can provide our body the intake of 40miligram of vitamin C, which is enough for our daily intake. The citric acid in lemon also helps to prevent calcium loss and this in turns prevents the formation of stones in our body. Lemon can strengthen the walls of the veins in our body and helps to reduce pain. Using a bit of lemon juice on our face will help to reduce the sign of ageing.
