Ginger is a type of rhizome growing mainly in tropical or subtropical areas where the temperature is around 25 deg celcius and where the rainfall and humidity are high.
Ginger has a particular hot flavour varying from sweet to dry and has a very rich aroma. Because of these properties, ginger is often called a "herbal delicacy" and is well sought after as a spice when cooking meat or chicken.
However, Ginger is more well known for its medicinal benefits. It has been found out that ginger when prepared in a certain way can help alleviate lethargy and migraine. It can also stop your diarrhoea or at least allows you time to see the doctor.
It is very usefull as a supplement for mothers who have just given birth. The elders use to stew chicken preferably kampong chicken(free ranch chicken) with a lot of ginger for 2 to 3 hours. Only the soup is to be taken. And this usually goes on for about a month after the birth of the baby. This helps the mother to regain strength and prevent "wind" entering her weakened body.
Ginger can also be obtained in a powder form and turned into healthy invigorating drinks.
