Grow Youthful: How to Slow Your Aging and Enjoy Extraordinary Health

Ailment: Cough

Remedy: Ginger tea


Take a piece of fresh ginger, the size of your thumbnail, or bigger if you like your tea strong. Crush it, put it in a mug and fill with hot or boiling water. Leave it to steep for 5 minutes.

Fresh ginger is available at most grocers and Asian stores. Dried ginger powder has different properties and is not as effective. Similarly, ginger tea bags are not very effective.
