Drink for colds and flu: Ginger and turmeric for the immune system in winter

Ginger: Your Immune Shield for Cold Season

Germans catch a cold an average of 2-4 times per year. The flu season lasts from October to April. Ginger strengthens the immune system.

How Ginger Boosts the Immune System

  • T-cell activation — strengthens cellular immune defense
  • NK cells — improves natural killer cell activity
  • Antiviral effect — Gingerols inhibit rhinoviruses and influenza in vitro
  • Fever management — diaphoretic (promotes sweating)
  • Sore throat — anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial

Prevention vs. Acute Cold

Timing Dosage Effect
