It's also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, and manganese. Ginger is another spice that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. It's known to help with digestion, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fats, including lauric acid, which has antibacterial and antiviral properties.
