Ginger decoction: how is it prepared?

Numerous properties are ascribed to this particular type of preparation, attributed to the active ingredients richly contained in the rhizome. The latter, in fact, constitutes the drug of the plant, ie it represents that part of the plant used (pure or treated) for therapeutic purposes (approved or not).

However, as will be seen in the course of the article, through the decoction operation it is not possible to extract all the active principles, consequently, even the final properties of the preparation will be lower than those of the whole or pulverized rhizome.

Despite this, there are many people who resort to the use of ginger decoction to alleviate some ailments that mainly affect the gastrointestinal tract.
