Tomato Ginger Juice Drink

Why people make this drink

Nourilo slipped on rain-slicked steps on the way out of class one evening and, despite applying a traditional bruise-relief ointment right away, found himself with lingering soreness in the bruised area weeks later. Not wanting to take medication, he searched through his food-therapy references and found this remarkably simple remedy: blended fresh tomatoes mixed with a spoonful of ginger juice. After four servings over four days, the nagging pain was gone. He was delighted enough to share it as one of his most useful everyday finds.
