A simple, anti-inflammatory recipe based on dipping feet in ginger water.

I learned the method of dipping feet in hot ginger water in China. This technique is common in traditional Chinese medicine and is adequate for many types of pain, such as flu, migraine, and almost any chronic pain.

Preparation:

• Rinse a generous amount of ginger root, cut it into thin strips, and add one tablespoon of salt and a small vinegar. Boil the ginger in a large pot with a large amount of water. (Preferably in a pressure cooker) After boiling, the water has an orange-brown color. The boiling water should be poured into a large bucket; the water can be filtered, optional. You can leave a small amount to use for drinking. (Without the salt)

• When the water is still boiling, put your feet on the edge of the bucket without contacting the boiling water. Put a large, dry towel on your feet. At this point, you absorb only the ginger vapor.
• When the water cools to the level where you can dip your feet, soak them for about 20 minutes; when you are done, dry them thoroughly.

Ginger root has powerful antioxidants absorbed through the skin and conveyed immediately through the bloodstream.
