Ginger has been used in India and the Far East for cooking and medicinal purposes for over 2,300 years. The edible part of the plant is called “ginger root”, even though botanically it is actually a rhizome--an underground storage stem. Because of its pungent smell and taste, ginger tea was recommended for cold symptoms during the winter. Chinese medicine also employs it for digestive problems (legend has it that Confucius used to consume it at every meal). But there are a number of varieties and blends of ginger tea available.

Based on all the consumers' reviews we've scanned, these are the top things they mentioned about their new stuff:
Relieves cramps: Women who suffer from pre-menstrual syndrome have noticed that ginger tea helps treat the characteristic cramps and jitters that they experience. They found it the most beneficial when taken during the last week of the menstrual cycle.
Served iced: Some suggest steeping the tea for 5-10 minutes, adding a tablespoon of honey, and then pouring it on ice when it cools. They found it beneficial against acid reflux.
Health uses for ginger tea: Traditional Medicinals makes a ginger tea called “Ginger Aid” that they recommend for digestive problems: nausea, motion sickness, and indigestion. Before meals, it warms up the digestive system. After meals, it promotes healthy digestion, especially if you feel bloated from eating too much. One person even said that it relieved them of acid reflux from which they suffered for years.
Anti-inflammatory: Ginger tea is also recommended for relieving muscle soreness after exercise.
Method of preparation: If you have ginger root, it is recommended to brew two tablespoons of tea in one cup of boiling water for 4-6 minutes. If you have ginger in a tea bag, it is suggested to pour 8 ounces of boiling water over a tea bag, and letting it steep for 10-15 minutes. Because it tends to be rather pungent, people suggest adding honey or organic sugar to taste.
