Ginger Root


The use of ginger as a powerful digestive aid dates back thousands of years. Ginger contains chemicals like gingerols and shagaols, which work in our stomachs and intestines to relax our intestinal track and relieve nausea. Ginger can be useful in calming nearly any GI issue, from vomiting to diarrhea. Take advantage of its stomach-soothing properties by sipping on a ginger-infused tea, chewing on a thin slice of fresh ginger, or popping open a good old fashioned ginger ale.

Sugar

Regular salt

2) 4 tsp grated ginger + 1/4 cup lemon juice + 4 tsp sugar ( or more if needed) + 1/8 tsp citric acid as a preservative.
