Also, it seems to help Cholestoral by reducing absorption, and coughs can be helped by drinking ginger tea made from dried or powdered ginger. Ginger's intense taste releases secretions to help throat congestion.

You can soak a large quantity in boiling water and squash them aroun a bit for five minuits. If you strain the water and drink it, it is really refreshing. or add lemon juice and honey and it helps you sleep. if you drink it often enough, it can reduce the deepness of wrinkles in time.
