Ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains gingerols and shogaols – bioactive substances with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties:
- Digestion: ginger stimulates gastric juice production and promotes intestinal motility – ideal after heavy meals.
- Nausea: well documented for travel sickness, morning sickness and after chemotherapy.
- Anti-inflammatory: gingerols can act similarly to NSAIDs (ibuprofen) – without the strain on the stomach.
- Immune system: antioxidants protect cells, and the warming effect stimulates circulation.
- Blood sugar: early studies show positive effects on fasting blood glucose.
Preparing ginger tea – classic or in 5 seconds
Classic: pour 250 ml of boiling water over 4–5 thin slices of fresh ginger (organic, with the skin on) and leave covered for 8–10 minutes – the longer, the spicier. Quick: drop one TEABALLS Bio Ginger into a glass, add 200 ml of hot water – done. Finish with a fresh slice of lemon and a little honey if you like: the classic immune-boosting combination, especially in cold season.
When should you drink ginger tea?
In the morning on an empty stomach: it stimulates digestion. After eating: it helps with a feeling of fullness. With a cold: warming and immune-supporting. Before exercise: it improves circulation. If you want to start the day with energy, combine ginger in the Bio Good Morning tea.

Frequently asked questions about ginger tea
How much ginger tea can you drink per day?
Up to 4 cups a day (roughly 4 g of ginger) is considered safe for healthy adults. During pregnancy or when taking blood thinners, check with your doctor first.
Does ginger tea help with a cold?
The warming effect, the gingerols and the high antioxidant content support the immune system and soothe a scratchy throat – but it cannot cure a cold.
Is ginger tea bad for the stomach?
On the contrary: in normal amounts ginger aids digestion. Very sensitive people should avoid drinking it in high doses on an empty stomach.
