# **ENGLISH** --- # Hello everyone, good morning. These rainy days have brought a surge in viruses, flu, colds, bronchitis, tonsillitis, and so on. The rainy season seems to stir up what was already settled in the air, and the pollution in some areas contributes to a proliferation of all sorts of illnesses. But colds and sore throats are the most common, which is why we turn to teas. I recently had a pretty bad case of the flu, and although I followed my prescribed treatment to the letter, I also used natural remedies. I must admit that the ginger recommendations were spot on, not only as a tea, but also in steam inhalations and even chewed. The flavor is strong, and if you have a sore throat, it stings quite a bit when you swallow, but after a while, you start to feel relief. I bought two fairly large ginger roots and saved them for times like now, when I'm feeling a sore throat again. Yesterday, I made a strong tea with honey, and today I added lemon balm leaves. The flavor is very pleasant with these last two ingredients, and it tastes even better warm.

Ginger, whose scientific name is Zingiber officinale, is an aromatic plant whose stem is a rhizome, meaning it's underground. It's highly valued in cooking and natural medicine for its spicy and refreshing flavor. In gastronomy, it's used fresh, dried, or powdered, and is commonly used to season meats, soups, sauces, desserts, and drinks. For infusions or teas, the root is boiled in slices or grated and is used to soothe sore throats, nausea, and digestive problems. It's also very effective for dizziness, and as a natural anti-inflammatory, it helps relieve muscle and joint pain. It improves digestion by stimulating gastric juices and reduces bloating and gas. It strengthens the immune system and is used to fight colds and flu, and improve circulation. Some precautions should be taken, and it should be consumed in moderation as it may cause stomach irritation.

**ESPAÑOL** --- # Hola a todos, muy buenos días. En estos días lluviosos se han manifestado muchos virus, gripes, resfriados, bronquitis, amigdalitis, y paren de contar, y es que de alguna manera la temporada lluviosa comienza a alborotar lo que estaba asentado en el ambiente, y con la misma contaminación de algunas zonas se crea un despliegue de enfermedades de todo tipo. Pero los resfriados y los malestares en la garganta son los más comunes, por eso recurrimos a los tés. Recientemente pasé por una gripe bastante fuerte, y aunque seguí al pie de la letra mi tratamiento clínico, también usé medicina natural. Debo reconocer que las recomendaciones del jengibre resultaron acertadas, y no sólo en té, sino en vapores y hasta masticable. El sabor es fuerte, y si tenemos irritación en la garganta, pica muchísimo al tragar, pero al rato comenzamos a sentir el alivio. Yo compré dos raíces bastante grandes y las guardé para esos momentos como ahora que de nuevo estoy sintiendo la garganta irritada, y preparé ayer un té bien cargado que tomé con miel, y hoy le integré hojas de toronjil. El sabor es muy agradable con estos dos últimos ingredientes, y tibio sabe aún mejor.

El jengibre, cuyo nombre científico es Zingiber officinale, es una planta aromática cuyo tallo consiste en un rizoma, o sea, es subterráneo y es muy apreciado en la elaboración de comidas y en la medicina natural por tener un sabor picante y refrescante. En la gastronomía se usa fresco, seco o en polvo y comúnmente sirve para condimentar carnes, sopas, salsas, postres y bebidas. En el caso de infusiones o tés, se hierve la raíz en rodajas o rallada y sirve para aliviar dolores de garganta, náuseas y problemas digestivos. También es muy eficaz para los mareos, como antiinflamatorio natural, ayuda a aliviar dolores musculares y articulares. Mejora la digestión al estimular los jugos gástricos y reduce la hinchazón y los gases. Refuerza el sistema inmunológico y se usa para combatir gripes, resfriados y mejorar la circulación. Se deben tomar algunas precauciones y consumirse con moderación ya que puede causar irritación estomacal.
