Ginger: Most people will tell you that consuming adrakh in summers is a no-no. But this is untrue as long as ginger is eaten in moderation and not for prolonged period of time — not more than 5 days at a stretch.
The root contains many benefits. it contains essential oils like gingerol, zingiberene, phellandrene, genarial and aromatic, serin and cellulose. Therefore, the root can help discharge sweat, improve appetite loss, insomnia and abdominal pains. Fresh gingers can remove oral and intestinal germs. Using warm ginger water as a mouthwash can treat bad breath — a common problem.
During summers, gastric secretion decreases. Having ginger helps excite the appetite.
