Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Dear Silver, Ginger has many uses. Its properties vary according if it is fresh and dry. AS fresh it can can be used when u have cough with sputem. In case of sore throat or voice problem due to cold you can preapre decoction and take sips of the decoction when it is hot. Also this is good when in chest congestion. Hope this is sufficient. If you need to know more please write to me. regards Dr SHYLESH --- Silver <silver_islandwoman wrote: Hello Everyone- I've got a question about the Ginger root- My mother bought some on a whim I guess and wanted to know how to use it and what it's uses are for besides upset stomachs- Thanking All in Advance, Silver~ ********************************************* Peacefulmind.com Sponsors Alternative Answers- HEALING NATURALLY- Learn preventative and curative measure to take for many ailments at: http://www.peacefulmind.com/ailments.htm __________ -To INVITE A FRIEND to our healing community, copy and paste this address in an email to them: http://health./subs_invite _________ To ADD A LINK, RESOURCE, OR WEBSITE to Alternative Answers please Go to: http://health./links ___________ Post message: Subscribe: - Un: - List owner: -owner _______ Shortcut URL to this page: http://health.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 How do I prepare Ginger Root? Hello Everyone- I've got a question about the Ginger root- My mother bought some on a whim I guess and wanted to know how to use it and what it's uses are for besides upset stomachs-Thanking All in Advance,Silver~Hi Silver, Ginger is a staple at our house! As I type this strips of home-grown chicken breast are marinating in a mixture of soy sauce, finely chopped garlic,and grated ginger root. Absolutely delicious and so good for you! Sometimes I add ground cumin and/or coriander seeds. Peel the ginger first with a sharp paring knife, then use a fine side of the grater. One of those simple things that stands upright. You may have to sort of scrape it off the inside. Some cooking show mentioned that ginger is easier to grate after it has been frozen, but I have not tried that out yet. Another way I use it is in Chow Mein-it may not be totally authentic but it tastes good and it is really fast. For Chow Mein I cut the ginger up into tiny cubes (peel, then cut lengthwise with the grain first and then across)and boil the ginger in the water I will use for the noodles. Ginger first, then some sliced carrots, then the noodles. They only need a minute. While that is happening, saute whatever odds and ends are handy in a wok or a big frying pan. We like onion, garlic, green and red pepper, finely shredded cabbage, florets of broccoli or cauliflower, any Chinese green veg, celery, whatever needs using up! A handful of frozen peas tossed in at the end is always nice. The protein part can be cubed tofu, cooked shrimp, or cooked or almost cooked leftover meat. Once the noodly pan, complete with ginger and carrots, has boiled and is ready, drain, mix the works together, and voila, dinner in 20 minutes. Some toasted ground sesame seeds and/or green onions are always nice on top. I can smell the organic brown basmati rice, yum. Think I'll go finish our gingery chicken dinner.
