Honey is a very popular food. Many people use honey to make tea, which can supplement vitamins, amino acids, and various minerals. Drinking honey water can solve constipation problems, and women who often drink honey water can improve their appearance and relieve aging. In the future, ginger can be added to soak honey water, and ginger honey water has many benefits.

Ginger honey water is made from high-quality winter honey and ginger harvested during the winter solstice, with a sweet and spicy taste. Ginger ‘warming the middle-jiao and stopping bleeding, sweating, expelling wind,’ honey ‘tonifying the Qi and replenishing the middle-jiao, relieving pain and detoxifying, healing various diseases and various drugs…’, the combination of honey and ginger complements each other. Winter ginger honey warms the middle-jiao and expels cold, warms the stomach and stops coughing, relieves pain, and is particularly effective for treating children with ascaris intestinal obstruction, stomach cold vomiting, and abdominal cold gas.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of senile spots is related to the unsmooth flow of Qi and blood. Ginger has the effects of sweating, resolving exterior syndrome, warming the middle-jiao and stopping vomiting, warming the lung and stopping coughing, and detoxifying. Its acrid and warm dispersing action can promote the circulation of Qi and blood; modern medical research also shows that the pungent components ‘gingerol’ contained in ginger have a strong antioxidant effect, which can quickly clear free radicals and inhibit the production of peroxidized lipids in the body, thus preventing or reducing the deposition of lipofuscin, and its antioxidant effect is stronger than that of the most commonly used antioxidant – vitamin E.

Therefore, the elderly can take 10-15 grams of fresh ginger slices, soak them in 200-300 milliliters of boiling water for 5-10 minutes, and then add 10-15 grams of honey to stir well before drinking. It should be noted that the water temperature should not be too high when adding honey, otherwise it will destroy the vitamin C and reduce its antioxidant capacity. Long-term use can not only prevent the further growth of senile spots to a certain extent, but may also make the existing senile spots gradually fade and shrink.
