Interestingly, ginger does not grow wild but depends on humans to cultivate it. It was carried around the world starting in 5000 BCE in Southeast Asia. It eventually wound up in China, the Mediterranean, the British Isles and North America, where 17th century British sailors ate ginger to relieve sea sickness. By the 1800s, ginger was listed as the go-to medicine. Among its many medicinal attributes, ginger was used to prevent scurvy, ease upset stomach, cure the common cold and ignite lust, as it was used as an aphrodisiac. So important was ginger, Confucius (475–221 BC) reportedly ate ginger daily. Add boiling hot water in a cup, add ginger in a tea bag. Let it sit for ten or so minutes. Enjoy. 15 Bag Count
