Ginger Tea with Honey

Scientific analysis shows that ginger contains hundreds of various compound’s and metabolites, some of which may contribute to health and healing. Of these, the gingerols and shogaols have over many years been most extensively researched.

The root or underground stem of the ginger plant can be consumed in various ways. With our ginger tea range you can take your ginger in a refreshing and tasteful drink.

We have listed below some of the many benefits.

Digestion
One of the phenolic compounds in ginger has been known to relieve gastrointestinal (GI) irritation. It also can stimulate saliva and bile production, and suppress gastric contractions. This helps food move through the GI tract easier. Furthermore ginger has beneficial effects on the enzymes trypsin and pancreatic lipase, which in turn can increase motility through the digestive tract. With this in mind it may help in the prevention of colon cancer and constipation.

Nausea
Drinking ginger tea is also a well known remedy for nausea in many instances. For example during cancer treatment, motion sickness and during pregnancy. It is safe to be consumed at any time and has a great flavour as well.

Cold and flu relief
Drinking warm ginger tea especially during cold weather is a great way to keeping warm. It is known as a diaphoretic, so promotes sweating and working within the body to become warm. Our flavour range comes in different strengths and we also have one with honey.

Pain Reduction
Many studies have been carried out and found that ginger can reduce exercise induced muscle pain by up to 25 percent. It has also been found to be help symptoms of dysmenorrhea. This is the sever pain some women experience during a menstrual cycle.

Inflammation
For centuries ginger has been known to reduce inflammation and also treat many inflammatory conditions.

A study published in a Cancer Prevention Research journal reported that ginger supplements, so in our case ginger tea, reduced the risk of colorectal cancer developing in the bowel of 20 volunteers.

Cardiovascular health
Ginger also has another important possible benefit in reducing cholesterol. This in turn lowers the risk of blood clotting and also helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It is believed if more research was completed, ginger could be proven to become a treatment for heart and diabetes.

Conclusion
The United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) consider ginger to be a food additive that is “generally recognized as safe.”

It is better to seek dietary sources of nutrients rather than supplements, and to consume them as part of an overall diet, rather than focusing on one item. This is why the use of our ginger tea is a perfect way to get your ginger intake.
