Ginger

Ginger is not difficult to find or extremely expensive. It is indigenous to parts of China and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, perhaps millennia.

This anti-inflammatory food is effective in treating digestive problems, nausea, hangover and gases.

Turmeric

Turmeric can relieve gas, eliminate intestinal parasites, and can be effective in treating arthritis.

Similar to ginger, turmeric has been found to be anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and possess antioxidant as well as anticarcinogenic properties among many others.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants, which protect the body from free radicals. This bark has also been found to provide protection from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes.

Unrefined Coconut oil

The best grade of coconut oil is unrefined and is often referred to as “virgin.”

Refined coconut oil loses almost all of its health benefits. Evidence of its antibacterial and antimicrobial potential was found effective against negative intestinal bacteria as well as parasites.

This also includes gingivitis causing plaque and other oral microbial infections. In addition, coconut oil also help protect against oxidative stress.

Honey

The medicinal uses of honey has been known for thousands of years. Ancient cultures most commonly used it to treat digestive discomforts and in healing wounds.
