Cleansing the body with ginger

The above recipe is suitable for solving many problems, however, cleaning the blood vessels, improving the composition of the blood and eliminating the problems of the kidneys or spleen have many differences, so it is worth considering the relevance and methods of using the plant for each specific example.

Ginger Vascular Cleaning

A sedentary lifestyle, the use of excessively fatty and heavy foods, an increased load on the body during the day are the main causes of problems with the vessels of a relatively healthy person.

Important! If the use of ginger tea causes nausea, vomiting, or other undesirable manifestations of this kind, it is worth stopping the drink completely, at least until consulting a doctor.

Of course, ginger will not help to eliminate bad habits, but it is within his power to clear the vessels of accumulated toxins and toxins, the main thing is to follow some simple rules for using a ginger drink:

1. Always drink as much clean water as possible, because when cleaning the vessels, a large amount of toxins is removed from them, which can lead to intoxication of the body (a constant feeling of thirst during this period is a signal that you are not drinking enough fluid).
2. Do not cut the peel of the root crop. For the most positive effect on the human body, ginger root must be crushed together with a skin containing a significant part of all useful substances.
3. Buy mainly whole root vegetables, because, in comparison with the powder, they are usually more useful (you can grind the plant yourself, at home).
4. Observe the regularity and the recommended duration of the drink, not limiting the intake to a few weeks (although only if there are no warnings for such therapy).

If there are no direct contraindications to cleaning vessels with ginger root, but its taste does not allow you to drink the drink calmly, you can replace it with a root added to ordinary dishes: for example, ground ginger goes well with many cereals, hot dishes and desserts, and the gruel from fresh plants can be mixed with lemon or honey, and then add a teaspoon of the product to your usual drink.

It is also possible to steam small pieces of root vegetables with dried rosehips, turmeric, raisins or other dried fruits, which in themselves have a positive effect on the human body.

Bowel Cleansing with Ginger

There are several ways to cleanse your intestines with ginger. The easiest option is to use the above drink, but if you want to not only speed up digestion and normalize the bowel movement, but also reduce constipation, then it is better to combine ginger root with turmeric.

To make such tea you will need the following components:

• 1 liter of pure water;
• 2 tsp grated or finely chopped fresh ginger root;
• ¼ tsp chopped turmeric.

The method of steaming resembles the standard brewing of tea, only instead of the usual brewing, ginger and turmeric are poured with boiling water, after which the drink is infused for 10 minutes (it is most convenient to use a kettle with a fine mesh inside). You can use the ready-made infusion like regular tea, but not more than 1-2 cups per day.

A valid alternative to the described drink is a decoction of ginger root. Having cut a small piece 4–5 cm long, it should be washed well and cut into small plates, pour a glass of cold water (it is better to use enameled dishes).

Important! It is not necessary to warm the prepared amount of broth every time, it is better to heat only a single portion at a time, so that the remaining amount of the drink retains all its useful properties.

The container with prepared ginger should be sent to a water bath and slowly bring the liquid to a boil, then boiling the root for 15–20 minutes (the liquid should be moderate under the lid). The finished broth should be removed from the heat, cover and let it cool completely at room temperature.

However, you will have to use it slightly warm, each time warming to about body temperature or slightly higher. Scheme of admission - 0.5 tbsp. 3 times a day, after the main meal. A simplified option for using pure ginger root (without making tea) is a mixture of grated root vegetables, lemon juice and a small amount of salt, which should be consumed before lunch or dinner.

Kidney cleaning

Treatment of kidneys with ginger is possible only in the absence of chronic diseases, especially in the acute phase. This also applies to the presence of stones 1–1.5 cm in diameter, which, as a result of the systematic use of a diuretic drink, can begin to come out, injuring the mucous membrane of the urinary tract.

For this reason, treatment with infusions and decoctions of herbs can be started only after a thorough examination by a doctor, with the obligatory conclusion of an ultrasound.

A diuretic cocktail based on ginger can be prepared according to the following recipe:

1. Mix together 1 part of fresh ginger root (you need to finely chop it beforehand), 5 parts of chopped parsley, 3 parts of carrots, the same amount of lingonberry leaves, 2 parts of fresh sage or oregano.
2. For optimal grinding, it is recommended to pass all the cleaned ingredients through a meat grinder and after mixing take 2 tbsp. l three times a day, but no later than 4 hours before bedtime.

Essential ginger oil also has high effectiveness in the fight against kidney problems, which is no worse than infusions and decoctions for stone removal and can enhance the effect of drugs.

True, you can use the drug only in conjunction with diuretic herbal preparations: they are drunk on their own during the first week, and then 3-4 drops of essential ginger oil are added to the usual drink. The general course of treatment is 2-3 weeks, with a periodic repetition of the performed actions up to three times a year.
