Charaka Samhita mentions ginger as 'Vishwabheshaj'. The right mixture of lemon
and ginger along with a bit of salt is an efficacious Ayurvedic medicine. One part of Lemon-
Ginger Mix, taken with five parts of other plain or soda water, spurs digestive system and
quells acidity and gastric trouble. It is a steadfast antidote to cold, fever and headache.
Taken with honey, the mix controls cough and sputum.
