🍁What are the names of traditional medicines in your country that you know?

🌿Aloe vera

It is one of the most used beauty products in our country. Women follow different methods to suppress acne and grow hair quickly. Aloe vera, which is used in many cosmetic products, is beneficial for the body if allergic people avoid it. And aloe vera is a tasty medicinal drink.

In addition to aloe vera, food flavorings such as ginger, garlic, turmeric are also used as medicines. Leaves like hatavariya, mugunuvanna and tibbatu are also used in the preparation of many medicines.

🍁Please share with us a traditional medicine recipe that you know, then write down the steps for making it.

Anyone can make this medicinal drink quickly and easily. First of all, you need to remove the peels of ginger and garlic and clean them. Then wash it and crush it with a mortar and pestle. I crushed it until it became juice and put it all in a glass. After that, add lime juice and pepper powder to the glass and pour water to fill the glass half way. Then mix everything well and drink.

🍁What are the uses (benefits) of these traditional medicines?

---

Ginger contains essential vitamins and minerals as well as other vital nutrients. The major component of ginger is the antioxidant-rich gingerol, which is the source of the herb's nutritional properties.

Persons who have food allergies such as albumin allergy can benefit from the consumption of ginger. And drinking ginger tea will help to remedy the effects of indigestion including bloating and the nauseating feeling arising from surgery.

Garlic is a useful medicine for patients who suffer from fever and cold all the time. It destroys the harmful bacteria living in the body and does not destroy the beneficial bacteria. And this has been identified as a drug that destroys cancer cells.

Pepper destroys the harmful parts produced in the chemical processes of the body. It also increases brain function. Pepper also has the ability to cure constipation, indigestion, oral diseases and many lung diseases.

A medicine that combines all of these ingredients can achieve more results than eating them separately. That's why I made this drink by adding ginger, garlic, lime and pepper. In fact, I recommend it as a medicine that can get better quickly for those who often suffer from diseases such as cough, common cold, etc.

🍁Are there any negative effects from it? If so, please state anything!

---

When we talk about ginger, it has been known to be a very effectively to food allergic peoples, pregnancy women and breast feeding mothers. Because ginger stimulates the production of insulin in the pancreas, it can be a harmful drug for people taking insulin therapy.

Although garlic is a medicine that cures many diseases, it is a food that should not be eaten by people with liver diseases. Even if the digestive system is efficient, eating garlic in the presence of non-bacterial fungal infections can cause the fungus to grow further. And doctors recommend to avoid eating garlic before surgery.
