GINSENG LEAVES TO RELIEVE SORE THROAT


Not many people are familiar with the ginseng leaf what more the dried type.  While many know that the root of the ginseng has high medicinal value, not many know that the Ginseng leaf can also be used as a herbal treatment, it is most often available in dried form.The most simplest and easiest way to take the ginseng leaves is to eat them from the plant. But,the taste of leaf is not so good which gives you an unpleasant experience.
The Chinese use to take some ginseng leaves and chicken pieces, steam them together twice, and serve it as a soup.  It has the taste mainly of chicken, but with all the health benefits of ginseng.  The leaves can also be brewed into a tea.  My godmother taught me to use it as a cure for people who have sore throats or whose voices become hoarse because of a sore throat. She said to boil the leaves with rock sugar and drink it.
