Why Does Ginger Honey Work Well Together?

Sometimes, when I feel ill, I find garlic a bit off-putting, especially if I’m feeling nauseous too. Although garlic helps build resistance, it’s not always an ingredient I can tolerate. That’s where Ginger Honey comes in.

When you add grated ginger to honey, it gives the honey a pleasant zing that can help soothe a sore throat. Plus, it adds all the anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties that ginger has to offer.

In addition, the honey helps soften the otherwise strong flavor of the ginger. And, keep in mind that honey also offers excellent antibacterial assistance to our bodies when we feel ill.

A Word of Caution

I am not a medical doctor, so to be safe, be sure to check with your medical professional before taking Ginger Honey or any natural remedy.

Also, remember that honey should never be given to infants under the age of one. And if you decide to introduce honey into your toddler’s diet, be sure to check with your pediatrician first.

Notes

How I use Ginger Honey: I like to take a teaspoon of ginger honey each day during cold and flu season and increase it to 2-3 teaspoons each day at the onset of a cold. A teaspoon of the ginger honey can also be mixed into hot water to make a soothing tea. Add a squeeze of lemon for a Vitamin C boost. This is what I like to do. However, I am not a medical doctor, so to be safe, be sure to check with your physician before taking ginger honey or any natural remedy. And remember, NEVER give honey to infants/babies.
