Ginger soup is not suitable for sore throat, there are three general conditions of sore throat, all of which are not suitable for taking ginger soup alone. Chinese medicine believes that the sore throat belongs to the problem of sore throat, sore throat is commonly caused by three reasons. One is wind-heat, wind-heat evil closed in the lungs, the need to evacuate the wind-heat; two is the heat and toxic congestion in the lungs, the need to clear the heat and detoxification (to remove the body heat and toxicity of the evil), the pharynx; the third is the yin deficiency, the kidney yin deficiency caused by the fire of the weak upward through the channels to the throat. Ginger soup is usually made with ginger, which is a pungent and warming antidote to cold, with the effects of relieving cold (removing cold from the surface of the muscles), warming the lungs to stop coughing (warming the lungs to stop coughing), and warming the stomach to stop vomiting (warming the spleen and stomach to treat vomiting caused by gastric cold). The use of ginger alone does not solve the above three conditions, but rather aggravates the condition due to its warm and hot nature. It is recommended that patients with sore throats who wish to use Chinese medicine should be treated by a TCM practitioner and take the medication as prescribed by the doctor.
