Ginger, an ingredient we use almost every day in our cooking, is actually the best dehumidifier in our body! Ginger is spicy and warm in nature. It can expel the coldness from the body and induce sweating and remove dampness. Ginger peel, in particular, is particularly effective in promoting diuresis and reducing swelling.
