What is Ginger Root Tea?

This popular and potent tea is easy to make and has been a major part of traditional medicines for thousands of years. Ginger is a flowering plant that is a probable native of Southeastern Asia, although it has now spread around the world. Typically used in culinary and medicinal applications, its tea has become the first line of defense for the common cold and a number of other common health concerns. [rx]

Health Benefits of Ginger Root Tea

Most of the benefits of ginger root tea are associated with its antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, digestive, antispasmodic, expectorant, hypotensive, anti-tumor, and relaxant properties. These effects are partly due to the presence of dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C, but primarily as a result of the volatile oils and antioxidants found in ginger, gingerol being the most important.

  • Relieves Cold & Cough – The antioxidant and antibacterial effects of ginger are well known, and in tea form, it can also have expectorant and infection, or irritation, often causing pain, swelling, heat, or redness. সহজ বাংলা: শরীরের প্রদাহ; ব্যথা, ফোলা বা লালভাব হতে পারে।" data-rx-term="inflammation" data-rx-definition="Inflammation is the body’s response to injury, infection, or irritation, often causing pain, swelling, heat, or redness. সহজ বাংলা: শরীরের প্রদাহ; ব্যথা, ফোলা বা লালভাব হতে পারে।">inflammation, pain, or swelling. সহজ বাংলা: প্রদাহ/ফোলা/ব্যথা কমায়।" data-rx-term="anti-inflammatory" data-rx-definition="Anti-inflammatory means reducing inflammation, pain, or swelling. সহজ বাংলা: প্রদাহ/ফোলা/ব্যথা কমায়।">anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for soothing and eliminating colds and coughs, and speeding the recovery process. [rx]

  • Eases Menstruation Concerns – Ginger root tea has been used for thousands of years to treat painful or irregular periods. It is particularly good as an anti-spasmodic, which helps to relieve painful cramps associated with menstruation. [rx]
  • Reduces Stress Levels – Ginger root tea can directly impact the health and function of the adrenal glands, which are crucial for the proper management of stress hormone levels in the body. Excess cortisol and other stress hormones can impact metabolic activity and wear down the body, leaving the immune system vulnerable to attack. Ginger root tea can heal the adrenal glands and ensure that your stress hormone levels are properly modulated. [rx]
  • Aids in Digestion – Ginger in all its forms, including tea, is excellent for treating stomach upset, excess flatulence, bloating, and cramping. It is also excellent for nausea and vomiting, especially when those symptoms are related to chemotherapy treatment. Pregnant women in their first trimester who use ginger root tea also report that it quickly soothes morning sickness. [rx]

Ginger Root Tea Recipe For Bad Cough

Soothe your throat by sipping a warm cup of ginger root tea!
  • Course: Beverage
  • Cuisine: Mediterranean
  • Keyword: ginger root tea, cough, respiratory problems
  • Appliance: Stove
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 2-inch slice of a fresh ginger root (thoroughly washed)
  • 2 tsp of dried peppermint

  • 2 tbsp of organic honey

Instructions

  • To make ginger root tea for bad cough, grate the ginger into fine slices (12-14 slices).

  • You can take small sips of this concentrated tea once every few hours to soothe your cough and coat your throat. Drinking entire cups of this mixture is not necessary for best results.
You can also add a pinch of black pepper to this tea, which can further help cut through mucus and eliminate congestion.

Ginger Root Tea Side Effects

Drinking ginger tea may have some side effects that include:

  • Stomach upset
  • Heartburn
  • Allergy- mild swelling or irritation on the lips, gums, and tongue
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Lightheadedness

Discontinue drinking the tea immediately if any of these symptoms appear. It also functions as a blood-thinner, so people undergoing surgery or currently on warfarin treatment should avoid the use of this herbal remedy. Again, these side effects are generally only experienced when a large amount of ginger is consumed in a day – more than 4 grams – which is unlikely with this tea preparation, even if you drink 2-3 cups per day.
