Ginger syrup is a common folk treatment prescription. According to Chinese medicine experts, the main function of ginger syrup is to prevent and treat colds, aversion to cold, fever, headache and stuffy nose. People who suffer from cold and abdominal pain and are prone to catch a cold during menstruation can also use ginger syrup to drive away the cold. For patients with mild cold or strong constitution, drugs can often be used to get rid of the symptoms. This method is most commonly used to keep out the cold and prevent colds, such as drinking a bowl of ginger juice in time when traveling for a long time on a cold night, being rescued from falling into the water and suddenly getting caught in the rain. Sweating makes you feel warm and comfortable all over, which can often achieve the purpose of prevention.

Ginger syrup is also very simple: use a large slice or shredded ginger to decoct water, add a little brown sugar, and take it with hot air. After taking it, it is best to sleep with a quilt to sweat and avoid catching a cold.

Ginger syrup can prevent and treat cold, because ginger has the function of sweating and relieving exterior syndrome. Ginger can be divided into ginger, dried ginger and processed ginger due to different processing methods, so we should pay attention to their different uses. Ginger is delicious, pungent and warm, good at dispelling cold and can stop vomiting. Mostly used for wind-cold, cold and vomiting. Dried ginger is the mother's wife's dried product. It tastes spicy and hot, and its dispersing power has been reduced, while its warming power has been strengthened. It is an important medicine for treating spleen and stomach deficiency and cold syndrome, which can restore yang, warm lungs and dissolve drinks. After processing, the spicy taste of processed ginger is weakened, but it has bitter taste. Warming meridians to stop bleeding is its strong point, and it is often used for deficiency-cold bleeding syndrome. It can be seen that ginger is the most suitable ginger juice for preventing and treating colds. If you can't find ginger at the moment, you can also use dried ginger instead.

Brown sugar is very helpful to health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that brown sugar has the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, invigorating spleen and warming stomach, expelling wind and cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and is especially suitable for pregnant women, children and anemic people. The glucose contained in brown sugar has the advantages of quick energy release, high absorption and utilization rate, and can quickly replenish physical strength. Children with qi deficiency, loss of appetite, malnutrition and other problems can drink brown sugar water in moderation on weekdays. For the frail elderly, especially those who have recovered from a serious illness, brown sugar also has an excellent nourishing effect. Eating brown sugar in moderation for the elderly can also dispel blood stasis and promote blood circulation, promote defecation, soothe the liver and improve eyesight.

Reminder: Ginger syrup is not a panacea for colds, but also has strict indications. If it is a wind-heat cold, it is not suitable for ginger syrup.
