However, since ginger has pharmacological effects, we should pay attention to some of its usages and taboos, and pay attention to the following issues:
1. Don't peel it. Some people like to peel ginger, which can't give full play to the overall effect of ginger. Fresh ginger can be shredded and sliced after washing.
2. Anyone suffering from excessive fire due to yin deficiency, red eyes and internal heat, or carbuncle, furuncle, pneumonia, lung abscess, tuberculosis, gastric ulcer, cholecystitis, pyelonephritis, diabetes and hemorrhoids should not eat ginger for a long time.
3. From the point of view of treatment, ginger brown sugar water is only suitable for patients with stomach cold, cold or fever after rain, not for patients with summer heat or wind-heat cold, nor for treating heatstroke. Taking fresh ginger juice can cure vomiting caused by cold, but it is ineffective for other types of vomiting.
4. Don't eat rotten ginger. Rotten ginger can produce a highly toxic substance, which can denature and necrosis liver cells and induce liver cancer, esophageal cancer and so on. That "rotten ginger doesn't taste bad" is unscientific.
