Ginger has been a popular remedy since ancient times for a diverse range of ailments including motion sickness, nausea, migraines, indigestion, sore throat, and even arthritis. Its ability to promote circulation within the body can create a warming sensation. It is thought that an active compound in ginger called gingerol is responsible for that “cozy” feeling, by stimulating blood flow and relaxing blood vessels. To get cozy fast, boil three cups of water, add several slices of fresh ginger (around three ounces), and a hint of honey. Steep for five minutes and enjoy!
