TCM Viewpoint: Ginger is considered a warming herb in TCM that helps to tonify the spleen and stomach. It is particularly useful for relieving symptoms of digestive discomfort such as bloating, nausea, and coldness. It invigorates circulation, dispels cold, and is effective in treating colds and flu due to its warming nature.

Modern Research: Ginger contains compounds such as gingerol and shogaol, which have been shown in studies to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Personal Note:   

A few months ago, after shamelessly overindulging at a family gathering (because calories don’t count when relatives are around, right?),
my stomach staged a dramatic rebellion, complete with backflips and somersaults. Instead of rushing to the medicine cabinet,
I sprinted heroically to my herb stash and whipped out some trusty ginger root. With the urgency of a reality-show chef
facing elimination, I brewed the fastest cup of Ginger Root Tea imaginable.

Not only did this tea calm my tummys enthusiastic gymnastics routine, but it quickly became my evening BFF.
Now, each night I make another cozy cup, occasionally inviting cinnamon to the party—
because ginger and cinnamon together? That’s just herbal harmony in a cup.
