Because the acidic flavor is astringent, so the power of ginger pronouncement will be astringent into the ginger nature thus become calm, and there is no ginger a large share of spicy flavor.

Vinegar is a direct route to the liver meridian, the liver meets the acid will be astringent, then the ginger function of the rise into the liver, the collection of hair, can enhance the liver Yang Qi.

We usually say that the male yang qi insufficiency, in fact, all belong to the liver yang insufficiency. At this point, if you directly supplement the liver yang, it will be on fire, simply can not fill in. The ginger is rising Yang, vinegar is astringent, you eat a little vinegar soaked ginger, you can make this medicine strength in the liver, not only rise Yang, but also to ease the development of liver qi.

And this method will not dissipate too much yang qi in the spleen and stomach. Because people will sweat slightly after eating ginger, the excess yang qi is sent out with the sweat, which is the same as to say that all this energy in the liver will give you to make up, not a waste.
