Preservation procedure and Utilization of Ginger for Upper respiratory track infections. Important spicies grow, preserve and keep for health benefits.

Hello Hive.

It's a new and beautiful week and we are more than happy to see the light of a new day. The year is coming to an end and in the same way the weather has also changed.

The change in weather got me sick with flu 🤧 as the harmattan has just crept in.
The rainfall for this year has just stopped right in the middle of the second week in the month of October even though I am still hoping that the weather will be a little favourable so that we can have some downpour even till the end of this month of October. Some parts of my rice farms are yet to bear their foods and it will be really unfortunate if all this labour goes to waste.

During the weekend a neighbor noticed that I was down with flu and decided to share with me some medicinal spicies she has been using as a cure for her own flu for a while now.

On a norms I would just walk into a store and purchase some drugs but sometimes it's good to use natural supplement instead of inorganic drugs. Some of these drugs would naturally posses some side effects compared to these organic medicine and spices.

She got me some ginger go take and this is where it all got interested. Within some few hours I felt better. All the itchy sensations I was feeling in my throat dissipated and I was so surprised at how fast the ginger worked.

Although I normally used a little of this ginger as part of some recipe for certain foods, I haven't tried using them as drugs.
I learnt the important use of some of these organic spices like tumeric, flax seed, moringa and so on.

Yesterday evening I decided to prepare and preserve some of these ginger and tumeric for future use.
Even though it is not possible for us as farmers to grow every single specie of crops we can at least purchase, prepare and preserve some important ones that other farmers grow in other locations.

Whenever crops are in season, they are often very cheap and it's advisable to purchase the ones we need and work on a preservation methods that will suit those crops.

So today I can bodly tell you that whenever you are having some flu, you can take and chew this ginger for a day or two and all symptoms will be abaited.
