Get rid of flu and colds at home with La Sweet Gemmer
Winter is often said to be the season for flu, but that has never been the case for Ngoakwana Seleka from Mohodi, Ga-Manthata who grew up in a home where they daily brewed and drank ginger.
POLOKWANE – “Growing up my mother always loved cooking and brewing ginger which made her popular in our community. Many people came to our home with empty bottles, especially around winter time, to buy some of the ginger products my mother made as most of them said it helped them avoid contracting the flu or help them recover faster when they did get it,” she explained.
