    Ginger

    Studies have shown that ginger (adrak) possesses amazing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

    The major reason people consume this spice is its ability to relieve nausea, treat heartburn, bloating and upset-stomach.

    Add ginger-slices to salads, or sip on some ginger tea, to reap its various benefits.

    Cinnamon

    Cinnamon is good for heart patients, and diabetics

    A popular spice- cinnamon (dalchini) has great antioxidant activity, that helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.

    But what cinnamon really stands out for is its power to lower blood sugar levels.

    One should look to add 0.5-2 teaspoons (1-6 grams) of cinnamon per day in their diet.

    Peppermint

    A wonder herb that reduces nausea and uplifts mood

    Peppermint (Pudina) is a commonly used herb, packed with many amazing health benefits.
