July and Grandma's Fresh Ginger Juice

Lan has been in the city for a year now. She remembers the days of July of the lunar calendar last year when Lan first set foot in the city and encountered a week-long Ngau rain. That day, Lan felt cold, her mind was tired and heavy, she also had a stomachache and was cold from the inside. She thought that she must have caught a cold from the rain for several days... She suddenly remembered the fresh ginger water her grandmother used to make at home whenever her children and grandchildren caught a cold.

When I was at home, these days I bought a lot of fresh ginger, washed it, drained it, and separated it. I put the root in the refrigerator. I grated the root, wrapped it in small packages (enough to make 1-2 cups of water) and put it in the freezer. When needed, I just took it out and put it in a cup of hot water to make it as desired.

She also roasted some ginger in advance so that when needed, her children could slice it and mix it with honey and warm water for quick results. The fresh ginger smelled spicy and aromatic, and as soon as she drank it, she felt warm all over her body, her stomach gradually stopped hurting, her body stopped being cold, and her head felt lighter.

Before the 7th lunar month, you should buy fresh ginger, wash it, drain it, and store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Avoid drinking ginger water at night?

The best time to drink ginger water is in the morning when your stomach is warm, or in the evening when it is cold. At that time, ginger has the ability to stimulate circulation and increase body heat.

However, avoid drinking fresh ginger water at night - especially before bedtime, as it can cause:

- Difficulty sleeping: The body warms up, the heart beats faster, the brain is more alert - this is good during the day but not suitable for preparing for sleep.

- Increased stomach acid secretion: For people with sensitive stomachs, drinking ginger late can easily cause heartburn or acid reflux.

- Feeling restless, difficult to relax: Especially for people who are sensitive to stimulating drinks.

- If you must drink fresh ginger water at night, choose ginger diluted with chamomile or honey to soothe, and drink at least 2 hours before bedtime.
