I didn't have time to tell you how I preserve fresh ginger root to have on hand at first sign of a cold or flu or upset tummy.

Some pregnant women struggling with morning sickness respond well to ginger root but again the big challenge to all health care strategies is everyone is so unique you have to pay attention to your own body and explore to find what works for you.

Anyway, I peel a piece of ginger root and use a potato peeler to slice it thinly into a jar,cover with honey and add some Vodka to keep it from fermenting. The ginger juice from the slices thin the honey enough to speed fermentation.

It doesn't take much Vodka to preserve it - maybe a fifth (not a bottle but a fifth of the volume of your concoction).

My tastebuds say, ginger soaked in honey is yum. Just chew some to settle a stomach or head off a cold, sore throat, cramps or gas... ginger is great stuff and soaked in honey it's a lot better medicinally than the candied slices you can buy.

O yes, and we won't forget it is much more economical but beside that it feels good to know how to do things and make things that have a positive influence on your health- it's empowering!
