Ginger tea for flavor, digestive properties or warming properties

Dancers use it to help with balance.

That’s interesting. How does it help your balance?

i have tried ginger tea and can’t take the heat, too spicy!

I actually like the taste of ginger tea. I have a box of teabags, which I use if I don’t want caffeine (because it’s late), or want to add ginger to another tea for extra flavour. I also use it because I tend to get chronic stomach aches, and I find it works better than Tums and other medicinals you can take. I’ve never had it just for Warming Qualities, though I like how it does sort of warm your insides.

Just cuz it tastes great. Although I mix it w/ green, whites, or in chais.

I don’t really know how ginger helps with balance, but it does. I suffered from dizziness, tried everything known to man. My herbalist put me on ginger and I am cured! Amazingly simple. I really like ginger in tea for the spice:)

I drink it mixed in with peppermint and chamomile to help with nausea and stomach upsets. I have on a couple occaisions also used it when I when I was really chilled but I mostly drink it for the former reason.

I know that ginger’s reputation in Canada, as far as I know, is mainly for its effects on the stomach – it’s becoming quite popular as a remedy for sea/motion-sickness for instance.

We drink it together with some salvia leaves and honey when we got the flu … sometimes cures it, most often at least helps against the symptoms.

I mostly drink it for indigestion/nausea, usually mixed with mint for that double anti-nausea whammy. I hadn’t even thought to use it for heat although I could see how it would work.

Interestingly my family uses a really strong salvia tisane for helping ease the pain of canker sores. I’ve never actually drunk it though.

I would agree, we americans drink/eat the ginger for the tummy problems. :o)
