Make some fresh ginger tea! That’s the suggestion of registered dietician Brooke Alpert. Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties, because it contains compounds linked to relaxing blood vessels and preventing blood clots. And just one cup of ginger tea can help ward off headaches and muscle pain as effectively as some pain medications! For the best results, Alpert recommends boiling a 2-inch piece of ginger root in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes. Then, let the water cool, strain it into a mug, and sip away your pain.

So can candied ginger or a ginger supplement. A study in Nutritional Biochemistry found that a compound in ginger stops the immune system from overreacting to the histamine that triggers allergies. But talk to your doctor. Because the volatile oils in ginger – called gingerols – have anti-inflammatory properties – which can interfere with blood clotting medications.

The compounds that give ginger its spicy flavor are more effective at suppressing coughs than over-the-counter cough medicines. To make your own: Grate a piece of ginger as big as your thumb into a mug, top with boiling water. Steep it for 5 minutes, strain it, and sweeten it to taste with honey. You can also squeeze a lemon wedge into the cup if you’d like. Enjoy!
