This is a magic weapon for clearing lungs when you hold it in your mouth

Ginger is said to "cure all diseases". It tastes spicy and warm in nature. It is good at dispersing wind and cold, resolving phlegm and relieving cough. It can also warm the middle and stop vomiting, and detoxify. In foggy weather, holding ginger in the mouth can also prevent smog. However, there are many things to pay attention to when using ginger, such as not peeling the skin, not eating rotten ginger, not eating too much, and not suitable for people with excessive fire in the yin points. So, what are the effects and functions of ginger? And what are the taboos of eating it?

Smoggy day? Try putting ginger in your mouth

If you want to reduce the damage caused by smog to your respiratory system, you might as well try holding some ginger in your mouth. “Whenever you go hiking in the mountains early in the morning, it is advisable to hold a piece of ginger in your mouth to avoid being exposed to the damp air of fog and dew, as well as the evil mountain mist.” What is mentioned here is the anti-smog effect of ginger.

If you feel that ginger is too spicy in your mouth, you can drink ginger decoction. Because it is spicy, you can add some brown sugar when taking it. However, it should be noted that since ginger is pungent and warm in nature, people with yin deficiency (often manifested by hot hands and feet, dry mouth and eyes, etc.), people with severe internal heat (such as lung heat and dry cough, stomach heat and vomiting), hepatitis patients, and people with hair loss should use it with caution.
