Let's Celebrate Christmas with Redgine

Entering December is an exciting time for everyone. If you pay attention to your surroundings, you will find public places and shopping centers filled with festive decorations. The month of December is synonymous with Christmas celebrations and holidays, so it is very suitable to spend it with family and loved ones.

Christmas celebrations usually start long before December 25th. People who celebrate Christmas have generally started to decorate their homes with Christmas trees, colored lights, and other typical ornaments. Christmas celebrations are also a symbol of togetherness, warmth, and peace.

Apart from beautiful Christmas decorations and delicious dishes, drinks also play an important role in creating a warm and festive atmosphere. One of the perfect drinks to add to the spirit of Christmas celebrations is a refreshing and warming red ginger drink.

Christmas is often associated with the rainy season and colder weather. As a rhizome plant that is famous for its spicy and warm taste, consuming a red ginger drink can help warm your body. Red ginger contains the active compound gingerol, which can produce a warm sensation so that it can make the body feel more comfortable.

Red ginger drink not only provides delicious taste but also brings health benefits. The gingerol and shogaol content in red ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and can improve the immune system. Based on the literature from Zhang et al. (2022), these two active compounds work to inhibit the enzymes cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase in synthesizing inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins, cytokines, chemokines, and leukotrienes, so that they can overcome inflammatory conditions in the body.

Apart from red ginger drinks, you can also use red ginger essential oil as aromatherapy. You simply fill the diffuser with room-temperature water and then add 3-5 drops of red ginger essential oil to it. Then, place the diffuser in the center of the room and turn on the diffuser. Wait a few moments until the diffuser releases water vapor, which spreads the essential oil throughout the room. The distinctive fresh aroma will add to the warmth of the Christmas atmosphere.

For those of you who are interested in getting creative with red ginger at Christmas or year-end holidays, you can use Redgine which is made from 100% Indonesian red ginger. You can be creative with using Redgine to produce interesting drink mixtures, or if you want to try something simpler, you can just brew and consume Redgine. You can also use Redgine Essential Oil which is made from pure red ginger essential oil, as aromatherapy when gathering with family and relatives. With Redgine, your Christmas and holiday atmosphere will be more cheerful and full of happiness.
