Learn How To Make A Ginger Bar
These tasty ginger bars are excellent for boosting respiratory immunity and stimulating digestive fire. The bars help reduce kapha (reduce heavy, sticky mucus) and pacify vata (feeling cold). If consumed in excess quantities, may increase pitta (body heat).
Nutritional Benefits:
Fresh Ginger Root
Ginger is called as ‘vishwabheshaja’, universal medicine that has amazing stimulating effect on the digestive fire (agni). Fresh ginger is pungent (spicy, hot) in taste and mild heating on the body. The brown sugar is nourishing and reducing to vata and pitta. Milk is nutritive and calming to vata and pitta as well. One may substitute almond milk in the recipe if you are allergic to dairy milk. Milk and brown sugar help to balance the heating effect of pitta. A fresh grated ginger when cooked with milk and brown sugar makes amazing delicious bars that help to remove the thick sticky mucus, cough, and cold feeling on a cold, heavy, damp day.
One small piece of a ginger bar with a cup of warm turmeric tea or a cup of warm milk can do wonders to energize on a sleepy, gloomy day.
