Fresh ginger, a potato-like plant with a woody root, is native to the southwestern region of China but is grown in many semi-tropical climates from India to Japan. While dried ginger is mostly used as a spice and requires boiling, fresh ginger will infuse its aroma and flavor directly into hot water due to its composition. Fresh ginger tea is particularly beneficial for boosting the immune system. It not only offers protection against colds but also provides a soothing effect.
