Benefits for Women’s Health and Vitality
1. Menstrual Pain and Cramp Relief
Ginger and cloves are renowned in traditional medicine for their analgesic properties, often used as natural remedies for pain.
Action: Gingerol works to inhibit the production of inflammatory compounds (prostaglandins) that cause the uterus to contract, effectively easing menstrual cramps. Cloves add an anti-inflammatory boost that reduces overall discomfort.2
2. Digestive and Bloating Support
This tea is an excellent post-meal digestive aid.3
Action: Ginger is a carminative, helping to expel gas and reduce bloating.4 It accelerates the emptying of the stomach, which alleviates feelings of nausea and indigestion—common issues during hormonal cycles or stress.
