Ginger is beneficial to health and ginger tea tastes wonderful also

#healthbenefits #gingertea #KolkataMaidan Ginger is loaded with high levels of Vitamin C, magnesium and other minerals and is extremely beneficial for health. A cup of piping hot tea with ginger in it is a great treat, especially during the winter season.
It falls into the category of Auyurveda medicine but, once made into tea, one can add peppermint, honey or lemon to mask the taste of the ginger. It used to, once upon a time, be a much favored hot drink for couples in the sprawling Maidan of Kolkata – the tea seller would be carrying a huge brass container of tea and, when hailed by the customer, would lower it and pour put the ada-chai or ginger-tea. The container would have a long spout for ease of pouring.
Anyway – the benefits of ginger are to relieve nausea, improve stomach performance, reduce inflammation, fight respiratory problems, improve blood circulation, relieve menstrual discomfort, strengthen immunity and relieve stress.
On the whole, it is a soothing drink, and helps to provide relief from the irritating coughs one usually experiences during winter or the rainy season.
