Lemon, Ginger, and Garlic Mixtures, Benefits, and Uses for Health

Jan 20, 2022

Ginger, Lemon, Garlic, and Honey Mixtures

Ginger has a lengthy history of use in various forms of both traditional and alternative medicine. People have consumed ginger to help deal with digestive issues, nausea, and to help fight against symptoms of the flu. Gingerol is the main bioactive compound found in ginger and it is the main medicinal feature in ginger. This bioactive compound also has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. 


Lemons are known to contain high levels of Vitamin C. In fact, lemons contain almost twice as much Vitamin C as oranges. In the 17th century, lemon juice was realized to be a potential method of preventing scurvy if consumed daily. Not only do lemons contain immune system strengthening Vitamin C, but they also have certain antimicrobial properties. These antimicrobial properties can help prevent the growth of certain molds as well as help to create potable water. 

Garlic is very closely related to onions, shallots, and leeks and like lemon and ginger, garlic has a very long history of being used for its holistic properties. It is commonly believed that these properties in garlic are formed by its sulfur compounds. Garlic is known to help strengthen the immune system which may help people reduce the length of their cold or prevent them from getting a cold at all.

Honey also has a long history in the health and medicinal world. However, many of these benefits are specific to raw honey. If you get pasteurized honey, you will unfortunately lose most of the antibacterial effects. Extra tip: if you buy local honey, the honey may help reduce allergies because you will be consuming small doses of your local pollen. Honey contains various plant chemicals that double as antioxidants which are important in protecting your body from cell damage. Research shows that these antioxidants may also have a role in preventing the development of cancer or heart disease. Honey also carries anti-fungal properties, antibacterial properties, and it has been known as a sore throat remedy that has been used throughout history. 

When combined, the properties of ginger, lemon, garlic, and honey work together to create a powerful antidote for anyone in search of a method to strengthen their immune system especially during the cold and flu season. This mixture has also been known to help cure mild infections without antibiotics in a more homeopathic and natural way.
