Speaking of the benefits of ginger soup, Professor Yu Kang, director of the Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said: "In fact, the wonderful use of ginger soup goes far beyond this. In the first winter, patients with hypertension are prone to high blood pressure due to physical discomfort. When their blood pressure rises, they can soak their feet with hot Jiang Shui for about 15 minutes, which is helpful for blood circulation and blood pressure control.
Soaking feet with hot ginger soup can not only dispel cold and promote blood circulation, but also help people with smelly feet: add some salt and vinegar when soaking feet, dry them after soaking, and then apply some talcum powder to eliminate the odor.
Apart from catching a cold, sore throat is also a common problem in winter. If you drink hot Jiang Shui with a little salt as tea, drink it 2 ~ 3 times a day, and take it often to help resolve inflammation.
For people with neurasthenia, Chinese medicine believes that drinking 1 bowl of hot ginger soup on an empty stomach every morning and evening can achieve the effect of invigorating qi, refreshing and improving sleep. If people with oral ulcers insist on gargling with hot ginger soup 2 ~ 3 times a day, long-term persistence will help to converge the ulcer surface.
