The Chinese believe strongly in the power of sweating to drive out a pathogen that has invaded the body causing an illness. One of the best recipes for a "sweat-promoting" tea is to combine 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger, the juice of 1 lemon and a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. Add 8 ounces of boiling water and steep 5 to 10 minutes. Sweeten with honey if wanted and strain before drinking. Best if consumed right before retiring for the night.
