Fresh ginger root is a staple in Japanese home cooking and is especially useful for early signs of a common cold. It helps expel pathogens by inducing gentle sweating, which can prevent symptoms from worsening. Additionally, the skin of ginger root promotes urine flow and reduces water retention, so don’t discard it.

Fresh and dried ginger root affect the body differently. For chronic symptoms related to poor blood circulation, dried ginger is often more effective, as its warming properties enhance blood flow and support organ health better than fresh ginger.
