Here’s how ginger can improve your skin

by Unathi Balele

Let’s talk about the versatile ingredient that everyone needs to have in their kitchen; ginger.

Ginger isn’t really a newbie in the use of home remedies, it’s used for everything from a cold and cough to a stomach ache, and is super easy to incorporate in a DIY recipe. A small piece added to a cup of hot water will help you offset a sore throat, and including a crushed root in your meal is the easiest way to soothe an upset stomach.

According to Healthline, Ginger is made from a flowering plant originating in Southeast Asia. Including ginger in your diet can have numerous physical and psychological health benefits. It is among the healthiest (and most delicious) spices on the planet. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, and it’s closely related to turmeric, cardamom, and galangal.
