Even if there is no art in making ginger tea yourself, you should avoid a few mistakes:

Cut the ginger too early: So that no valuable ingredients are lost, only cut the root just before it boils.
Wrong water temperature: You should prepare the ginger tea with boiling water - unlike green tea, for example, which only needs temperatures of 60 to 90 degrees.
Peel ginger: As already mentioned, the peel contains valuable ingredients that are lost when peeled.
The wrong ginger: It is important to use organic ginger, precisely because the peel is also cooked. With conventional ginger, pesticides would otherwise get into the tea.

The Effect of Ginger

Ginger has a long tradition as a spice - and the root has also played an important role as a remedy, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. The reason for this are the ingredients, especially the gingerols and essential oils, which are among the pungent substances. Gingerol's chemical structure is similar to that of aspirin and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, expectorant and analgesic properties. The pungent substances stimulate the gastric juices and stimulate digestion.

The root is also very popular with us, especially as a home remedy for colds. However, ginger is also a real miracle bulb. Among other things, she helps with:

Nausea (also with travel sickness) and nausea
digestive problems
headaches and migraines
loss of appetite
menstrual cramps
