Ginger in tea, health for thee. Adding ginger to tea offers numerous benefits. Ginger contains multiple active components with functions such as detoxification, reducing inflammation, eliminating dampness, promoting blood circulation, warming the stomach, and preventing nausea. Scientific research confirms that ginger can also inhibit cancer and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Extracts from ginger are used to treat migraines, movement disorders, and arthritis.

Ginger tea has long been a traditional practice in China. It is simple to prepare: wash about 10 grams of ginger, slice it, and boil with 5–10 grams of tea leaves and 300 milliliters of water for 5–10 minutes. Strain out the residues and tea leaves, add 30 grams of rock sugar, stir well, and it is ready to drink. A single cup of this ginger tea can relieve mild cold symptoms. For more severe cases, drinking it once daily for three consecutive days can eliminate cold symptoms such as coughing, fever, and sore throat. Those prone to colds can drink it every three days as a preventive measure. If you frequently experience constipation or constant fatigue, homemade ginger tea is also highly effective. Additionally, ginger can prevent motion sickness; drinking a cup of ginger tea before traveling by car or boat is recommended.
