The benefits of eating ginger with the peel on

According to Traditional Medicine Practitioner Bui Dac Sang of the Hanoi City Traditional Medicine Association, ginger contains 2-3% essential oil, 5% resin, 3.7% fat, starch, and pungent substances (Zingeron, Zingerol, Sogal).

Ginger is a common spice in every family's meals. It is also a valuable medicinal remedy, treating inflammation, colds, warming the body from within, and preventing respiratory and digestive diseases.

Fresh ginger has a spicy taste and slightly warming properties. It helps fight cold, clear phlegm, prevent vomiting, and aid digestion. Roasted ginger treats cold-induced stomach pain and diarrhea. Dried ginger dispels cold and treats colds and diarrhea. Ginger peel (ginger skin) can reduce edema (diuretic).

Ginger is a spice that is good for your health.

Ginger peel has diuretic effects, increases gas, reduces swelling, decreases edema, and reduces bad breath. Users should wash the ginger peel thoroughly before processing. Ginger peel is bitter; you can peel it off or leave it on depending on your needs.

In cases of joint pain during cold weather, soak your feet and hands or take a bath with herbal water containing fresh ginger, or apply roasted ginger with coarse salt to the painful area (without peeling).

People suffering from back pain and neck and shoulder pain due to cold weather can use ginger as a liniment, massage it into the skin, or apply a hot compress to the neck and shoulders with roasted ginger and coarse salt.

If you use ginger in your daily cooking, you shouldn't peel it. Simply wash the ginger and use it to retain its full nutritional value.
