How to Make a Ginger Compress
YOU will need:
6-8 oz. fresh ginger root
2-4 qt. water
Bring the water to boil in a large stock pot. Turn off the heat.
Grate the ginger root onto a square cloth approximately 12 inches by 12 inches.
Pull the corners of the cloth together once the ginger is fully grated and wrap with a rubber band.
After the water has cooled, but not too cooled, use your compress cloths (thick washcloths or towel) by dipping them into the ginger solution and wringing out most of the water. Let cool before applying to affected area.
Once applied, cover compress with thick towels or a heating pad and towels to keep the heat in.
It is best to have two cloths so you can alternate them. Leave towels on area for 5-10 minutes each time.
The skin will become bright red as the treatment progresses.
Compress for approximately ½ hour to 45 minutes, not to exceed more than 2 consecutive days.

Have been using this store for years. Been there for as long as I can remember. Very useful products that actually work. I have recommended this store to others for many years. I know many who shop here and all have only good things to say. Thanks for being here.
I love this store! I can always count on them to have a healthy, safe alternative. It is a huge relief to walk into a store and buy whatever you want without having to worry about if you’re ingesting poison. Also, the employees are always really helpful and knowledgeable about their products.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL STORE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. As a new vegan, they were able to show me various foods and things to enjoy. They answered all my questions with a smile and made me feel important. GREAT GREAT PLACE.
We have done business with Mother Earth Foods almost since its inception. I have seen a lot of changes through the years. All of them working toward offering more products and services for their customers. They research the products they sell and only sell the best. Anytime I have gone in asking for a product for a particular issue, the employees could steer me toward what I needed to address that issue I was having. As far as I am concerned this is the ONLY true health food store in our area. They will always have my continued patronage. Thank you for striving to provide the best for your customers.
