Ginger Shot: The Best Remedy For Cold
If you have a cold, sore throat, cough and runny nose are among your symptoms? Ginger shots are great remedies for cold and flu and can help you fight these symptoms faster than any pharmaceutical products. Learn how to prepare ginger shots to kill your cold.
Ginger Benefits
Ginger shots stimulate your metabolism and strengthen your immune system. Therefore they can give you a great energy boost and an extra glow for your skin and hair. For example, as little as 1-2 oz. or 30-60 ml per day are enough to feel the benefits of the shot.
Thanks to the ingredients contained in potassium, phosphorus and vitamin C your immune system will be strengthened. Regular intake can help you gradually to become more resistant to influenza viruses and bacteria. The gingerol contained in the ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore intake of ginger shots can help against sore muscles, headaches, and even menstrual cramps.
Likewise, thanks to the many minerals such as iron, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, and calcium, we are protected against deficiency symptoms, hair loss, dry skin, and tiredness.
Ginger Shots vs Ginger Tea
In comparison, the ginger shots win by far against the ginger tea. The reason for this is that the ginger root is very sensitive to heat and loses a lot of vitamin C and many minerals when poring over with boiling hot water and during prolonged simmering.
For the Ginger Shots, the ginger is cold-pressed or pureed and thus retains all its important nutrients.
