We often use Ginger together with sugar or honey for a cold ,cough and flu.
You peal your ginger and wash well then have the ginger with honey or sugar. Ginger has an anti inflammatory property which when taken relaxes the airway membranes and reduces coughing.
-water from boiled Ginger taken with honey helps to cleanse our system (ginger tea)

Another natural traditional medicine we use is mint. Mint is a green grass which is very important and medicinal in many ways. Mint has a thousand and more uses but each and everyone of us has his or her own way of using the mint leaf.
I’ll share with you guys how my family uses the mint leaf.
I planted mint in a small bowl in from of my house and it has been very useful to us.

The mint I planted.

When the mint is so grown that there is no longer space for more to grow I harvest and wash then refrigerate for as long time as we use it till it gets finish ,at times I harvest it and dry ,when it’s well dried I keep them we can now take and boil at any time we want to use it.

I have sliced and washed my mint and transferred it into a drain ready to dry and keep for future use.

WHAT ARE THE NATURAL BENEFITS WE GET FROM THIS MINT PLANT.
-When anyone in the house has indigestion ,he is given two leaves of mint to chew and swallow ,that relives indigestion.
-drinking mint improves on our immune system and keeps us strong and disease free.
-Chewibg mint leave is also a natural way to get rid of bad breath.

I’ll invite my friends
