New Delhi: A simple addition to daily tea may offer several health benefits, according to traditional wellness experts and Ayurveda practitioners. Dry ginger, commonly known as ‘saunth’, is increasingly being recommended as a natural ingredient that can help improve digestion, strengthen immunity and provide relief from seasonal illnesses.
Experts say dry ginger contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help the body fight infections and improve overall health. Many people consume dry ginger tea during changing weather conditions to reduce symptoms such as cough, cold and sore throat.
According to Ayurveda, adding a small amount of dry ginger powder while preparing tea can also aid digestion and help reduce bloating or gas-related discomfort. It is believed to improve metabolism and keep the body warm, especially during monsoon and winter seasons.
Health experts further suggest that dry ginger tea may help ease headaches and body pain due to its warming effect. Some people also use it as a home remedy to tackle nausea and fatigue. However, doctors advise consuming it in moderation, especially for people with acidity or certain medical conditions.
With growing interest in natural and traditional remedies, dry ginger tea is once again becoming a popular household choice among people looking for simple ways to maintain daily wellness.
