Ginger
Ginger, grown between 800 and 1,500 meters above sea level in Junín, contains gingerol, which has potent anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants. It helps with digestion, reduces menopause symptoms, and supports respiratory health by acting as a natural expectorant to clear mucus and relieve congestion, making it useful for colds, coughs, and asthma. However, ginger can cause digestive discomfort in high doses and may affect blood thinning, so individuals on anticoagulants should consume it in moderation.
