Among GoYin Juice’s many functional herbs and fruits, ginger is one of the most powerful and long beloved functional roots of Asia. Growing up in an Asian home myself, ginger was constantly used in pretty much every dish. Sometimes as a kid I would joke with my mom that her Korean cooking was really just the weeds that she would pick from the backyard, but little did I know that these gamey tasting vegetables would actually have so many healthy consequences.
GoYin’s healthy supply of ginger can help treat nausea. Ginger has been traditionally used for seasickness, morning sickness, and even chemotherapy.
The Goyin drink is not the only recipe that uses ginger functionally. Ginger Ale and ginger beer have been used as stomach settlers right here in the US. In India, it is used from cold related headaches, in Myanmar (formerly Bhurma) it is used as a flu preventative measure, in China (where the recipe for the goyin juice recipe was inspired) it is also used as a natural sweetener and also used as for the common cold.
Historically, the common cold and nausea aren’t the only applications for ginger, but in Indonesia, Jahe, a type of ginger, is known to cure rheumatism and to reduce fatigue. In the Congo, a ginger mixture is even considered as a universal panacea. Goyin by far is not the first to employ the health benefits in their juice. It is really just following centuries of TAM tradition.
