GINGERLY CLEAR SKIN...

NUTRITION PROGRAM AND ACNE CHICO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE SKIN CARE

Ginger, from the ginger plant is a rhizome - very similar to a root. It is well known throughout the world for its medicinal properties, gastrointestinal benefits and immune system support. This popular spice is also a powerful antioxidant, detoxifying agent and anti-inflammatory, making it a must-have for those who have inflamed and cystic acne. This sweat-stimulator flips the switch on metabolism to help the body detoxify.

Recent research shows that sweat contains powerful microbe fighting properties that can help fight off infections. Dermicidin is a protein synthesized in the sweat glands, and is secreted into sweat and onto the skin's surface where it guards against foreign invaders.

Suggestions for how to use ginger:
- Simmered and used as hot or iced tea
- Simmered and blended with water, ice, lime, apple & stevia as a detoxifier
- Juiced with beets, carrots and celery as a detoxifier
- Grated and used with soy and sesame oil as a salad dressing
- Sautéed with veggies
- Grated and mixed with rice
