Traditional medicine recipes
In folk medicine, treatment of prostatitis with ginger is possible using many recipes. However, it should be remembered that their use only relieves the symptoms of diseases without eliminating the cause. Therefore, you need to take these medications as additional treatment or for prevention, after consulting with your doctor.
Preparing the tincture
Alcohol tincture of ginger for prostatitis can be prepared in two ways:
- You need to pour 100 g of crushed root into 1 liter of vodka. Infuse for 2 weeks in a cool place, out of sunlight. Then the infusion needs to be filtered and stored in a dark place.
- To prepare the tincture for this recipe you will need 20 g of ginger root, a tablespoon of chamomile flowers and 50 g of vodka. Dry ingredients need to be crushed and poured with vodka. After 14 days of infusion in a dark place, it is necessary to strain through gauze and store in a cool place.
You need to take the tincture 3 times a day, 10 drops. To make it easier to take, it can be diluted in water. The duration of treatment is 14 days, then you need to take a break.
Tea recipe
To prepare ginger tea, grate the root and pour boiling water over it. Let it brew for 10-15 minutes. To improve the taste and increase the healing effect, you can add mint, string, honey or lemon.
For prostatitis, ginger tea should be drunk freshly brewed. When stored for a long time, it loses its healing properties.
Recipe with chicory
Ginger and chicory have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects for prostatitis. Chicory enhances the healing properties of ginger, softening its effect on internal organs and the gastric mucosa.
To prepare the drink, mix 2 tsp. chicory and 1 tsp. chopped root. Fill with hot water. Leave for 10 minutes.
Drink half a glass twice a day.
Recipe with lemon
When brewing ginger tea, you can add a slice of lemon. This will improve both the medicinal properties and taste of the drink.
Thanks to its high vitamin C content, lemon enhances the anti-inflammatory properties of ginger and helps improve immune system function.
Use with honey
It is effective to take ginger to increase potency with honey. Adding honey to the drink occurs some time after brewing, since honey in hot water loses its properties.
It should be remembered that you should not drink this drink if you are intolerant to bee products.
