What is Ginger Tea?

Ginger tea is a spicy and flavorful drink that packs a punch of healthy, disease-fighting antioxidants (17Trusted Source).

It also helps fight inflammation and stimulates the immune system, but it’s most well known for being an effective remedy for nausea (18Trusted Source).

Studies consistently find that ginger is effective at relieving nausea, especially in early pregnancy, although it may also relieve nausea caused by cancer treatments and motion sickness (19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source).

Evidence also suggests that ginger may help prevent stomach ulcers and relieve indigestion or constipation (20Trusted Source).

Ginger may also help relieve dysmenorrhea or period pain. Several studies have found that ginger capsules reduced pain associated with menstruation (21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source).

In fact, two studies found ginger to be as effective as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen at relieving period pain (23Trusted Source, 24Trusted Source).

Finally, some studies suggest that ginger may offer health benefits for people with diabetes, though the evidence has not been consistent. These studies have found that ginger supplements helped with blood sugar control and blood lipid levels
