Here are the top health benefits of ginger tea.

1. Improves Blood Circulation

Ginger tea helps improve blood circulation to maintain optimum health. The compounds like gingerols and zingerone in it have a warming effect on the body, resulting in good circulation.

Good circulation throughout the body means more nutrients, minerals and oxygen reach different parts of the body. In addition, proper circulation promotes cell growth and functions of organs, such as the brain, heart, liver, kidneys and the limbs.

2. Provides Pain Relief

Ginger contains a compound known as gingerol that has anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, ginger helps block COX-2, a chemical in the body that causes pain. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help treat muscle and joint pain.

Drinking ginger tea regularly effectively helps treat pain associated with gout, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Plus, it can reduce post-exercise inflammation and pain.

Moreover, it helps soothe migraine as well as tension headaches as it blocks prostaglandins from causing pain and inflammation in the brain’s blood vessels that cause headaches

3. Eases Menstrual Discomforts

One to two cups of ginger tea can effectively ease menstrual cramps and other associated discomforts. It is also a good remedy for premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

The warm nature of ginger tea helps relieve pain and relax the muscles, thereby reducing menstrual cramps. Women dealing with irregular periods and those who experience heavy menstrual cramps may also find relief with ginger tea.
