Ginger is pungent and warm, good at dispelling cold, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and can stop vomiting and detoxify. Clinically, it is often used to treat exogenous wind-cold and stomach-cold vomiting, and it is called "the holy medicine for vomiting at home" by predecessors.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, ginger is a product that helps yang. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has always said that "people can't live without ginger for a hundred days." Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, described an 80-year-old monk in Jingci Temple, Qiantang, Hangzhou, with a childish face. "He persuaded Jiang for forty years, so he is not old." Legend has it that White Snake stole Xiancao to save Xu Xian. This fairy grass is ginger bud. Ginger is also called "rejuvenation grass" and ginger soup is also called "rejuvenation soup".
Ginger should not be eaten at night. Its gingerol stimulates intestinal peristalsis, which can enhance the function of spleen and stomach during the day. At night, it becomes a big problem that affects sleep and hurts the intestines, so it is not suitable for eating at night.
It is not advisable to eat too much ginger at a time, so as not to absorb a lot of gingerol, which will stimulate the kidneys when excreted by the kidneys, resulting in symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat and constipation. One person should eat 5- 10g a day.
