Ginger has many incredible health benefits. For example, ginger is anti-inflammatory and great for treating sore throats. Here are three fun ways you can incorporate more ginger into your daily life. 

Ginger-Infused Honey

Make your own ginger-infused honey by placing slices of fresh ginger in a jar of honey. Over time, the honey will absorb the ginger’s flavor and subtle heat. You can drizzle the honey over desserts, add it to tea, or even use it as a marinade for meats.

Ginger-Infused Water

You probably heard of ginger tea, but you may not know you can also add ginger to your water. Just add thin slices of fresh ginger to a pitcher of water and let it infuse for a few hours in the refrigerator. This ginger-infused water is not only tasty but can also help with your digestion and any bloating issues. 

Ginger Hair Mask

You may be surprised to learn that ginger has great hair-strengthening properties. You can create a ginger hair mask by blending fresh ginger root with olive oil or coconut oil. Apply this mixture to your scalp and hair, leave it on for 30 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. The ginger will stimulate hair growth and provide a natural shine to your hair.
