Ginger Tea

Make sure you’re only drinking certified organic herbal tea. Organic will allow the nutrients of tea to enter your body unaltered, without the side-effects of pesticides working against its cleansing properties.

Toxins from pesticides sprayed on nonorganic teas detract from the healing and cleansing properties of the teas that have been used for throughout history. Human pesticide consumption has been linked to short-term health issues such as headaches and nausea, and in some cases to more serious conditions of infertility, endocrine disruptions and even cancer. The only way to ensure you’re not exposing yourself is to drink only organic ☺

☺ Organic tea farms use compost, plants and organic matter to provide essential ground cover and fill the soil with nutrients to allow sustainable, fertile land for many harvests to come. This natural soil brings the organic tea plants to life; rich with minerals, amino acids and vitamins. Organic herbal tea is literally the world’s healthiest vitamin water, with varieties such as green tea, chamomile and yerba mate containing antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation, combat cell damage and have been linked to reducing the risk of cancer and diabetes.

When making tea use loose leaf and always cover the cup so that the volatile oils don’t evaporate.

Flavour-hot and spicy

The best way to serve it – hot or cold with honey and lemon

Health benefits: warming, antiviral, antibacterial, increases circulation , relieves nausea, motion sickness and pain. Great for upset stomach, gas, irritable bowel. Ginger can reduce inflammation so great in acid reflux situations. I use ginger in compresses also to help soothe muscle pain.

Best time to drink it - anytime of the day really. Around meals.
