Brown sugar ginger soup: Brown sugar has the effect of nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation. Adding it to ginger soup can improve the body's surface circulation and treat colds. It should be noted that ginger and brown sugar water is only suitable for colds caused by wind-cold or stomach chills after being caught in the rain, and should not be used for colds caused by summer heat or wind-heat.
Jujube and Ginger Soup
Ingredients: 15 jujubes, 4 slices of ginger, 20g brown sugar. Instructions:
1. Rinse the jujubes with running water to remove surface dust, peel and slice the ginger, and prepare about 20 grams of brown sugar;
2. Take a small pot, put the dates and ginger slices into cold water, and simmer over low heat until boiling;
3. Continue boiling the jujube tea for 5 minutes, then pour in the brown sugar. Once the brown sugar has completely dissolved, turn off the heat. Jujubes are sweet and warm in nature, and have the effects of tonifying the middle energizer, replenishing qi and blood, and calming the mind. Ginger is pungent and warm in nature, and has the effects of warming the middle energizer, relieving exterior symptoms, and dispelling cold. The combination of the two can fully utilize the effects of ginger, promote blood circulation, and improve symptoms of cold hands and feet. Furthermore, ginger is highly warming, and jujubes are highly nourishing, making them very effective in treating stomach ailments caused by cold.
