Ginger

Improving your digestion will improve your energy level and help to stave off sickness. A good way to aid in your digestion and to warm your body through the winter is to take in a ginger tonic, mix it in water and take before meals for a few months or drink a strong ginger tea.

You can find the fresh ginger rhizomes in natural food stores. Also try candied ginger for a different texture ~ which can also be found in some food stores (or you can order it on-line)!

At the onset of a cold ~ take a ginger bath by making a strong ginger tea and pouring it into your bath water and soak for a while : ) Ahhh...

**Warning during pregnancy ~ fresh is safer than dried root and be sure not to drink more than 2-3 cups per day during pregnancy**
