Elena, 40 years old, Ryazan
After giving birth gained 15 kg. Horror, weakened immunity, small clothing. Once again I try not to take medications, expensive and with consequences for the stomach. I decided to try the "grandmother's" method - ginger-garlic tea. At first they scared the ingredients, but the taste was acceptable, and then got used to it. Edemas slept from the first days of use, and a month later got into my favorite jeans. Yes, and not a cold this winter even once. In general, tasty, cheap and with great benefits!

For himself, ginger discovered recently. The doctor prescribed the treatment, but the medication is sick, there is no appetite at all. My wife has been drinking tea for immunity for a long time, and here I happened to try. The result - nausea gone, appetite appeared. Only the taste is very bright, for an amateur.
