Honey and ginger can effectively remove age spots. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the generation of senile plaque has a certain relationship with the poor circulation of qi and blood. Ginger has the effects of sweating, stopping vomiting, warming lung, relieving cough, and detoxicating, and its pungent and warm effect can promote the circulation of qi and blood. Modern medical research also shows that gingerol, an irritating component contained in ginger, has a strong antioxidant effect, which can quickly remove free radicals and inhibit the production of lipid peroxide in the body, thus preventing or reducing the deposition of lipofuscin, and its antioxidant effect is stronger than that of vitamin E, the most commonly used antioxidant at present. Honey has the functions of nourishing the middle energizer, moistening dryness, and detoxicating, and can promote qi and blood metaplasia and maintain the normal operation of qi and blood. Modern medical research also shows that honey also contains a lot of antioxidants, vitamin C and flavonoids, which have a strong "lethality" to free radicals. However, ginger has the function of dispersing stagnation, which is not suitable for the elderly and infirm who have been treating exterior deficiency and spontaneous sweating for a long time, otherwise it is easy to consume gas and hurt yin. The nourishing effect of honey can avoid the adverse reaction of excessive sweating after taking ginger, which leads to excessive damage of human vaginal fluid. The two are "complementary and mutually beneficial". Treatment prescription: Old people can take 10- 15g fresh ginger slices, soak them in 200-300ml boiling water for 5-10min, and when the water temperature is cooled below 60℃, add 10g honey and drink them evenly. It should be noted that when adding honey, the water temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will destroy vitamin C and reduce its antioxidant capacity. Long-term use can not only prevent the growth of senile plaque to a certain extent, but also make the already existing senile plaque gradually shallow and narrow.
