"Benefits of ginger 1. In addition to cooking ginger, almost everyone also eats raw ginger.  The medicinal properties of ginger are immense.  When I have a cold, the first thing I eat is crushed ginger and I drink it with liquor tea. 2. If you have a sore throat or a sore cough, eating a little salt with raw ginger will reduce the soreness a lot. 3. Many people feel nauseous after getting into the car, putting a piece of raw ginger in their mouth will reduce the nausea. 4. You can eat raw ginger regularly to relieve arthritis pain. Personal opinion :- If you do any cooking with time and patience, the taste of cooking is much better.  It is true that the benefits of several spices have been mentioned here but one thing should be kept in mind that it is better to eat any food in moderation and before consuming it regularly one should start taking the doctor's advice. ©Jayshri Adhikary "
