Looking to detox and shed a few pounds?
Then you should rely on ginger tea.
However, many people make mistakes in preparation.
People have been using the essences in ginger for centuries.
In traditional Chinese (TCM) and Indian medicine (Ayurveda), ginger has been used for centuries as a remedy that warms the body from the inside.
As the
Freiburg University Hospital
informs, ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect, activates intestinal activity and was even effective against various viruses in laboratory tests.
According to the AOK
, tea with ginger can
also support a diet.
Green tea, oolong, mint, ginger or dandelion can boost fat burning in various ways and reduce cravings for sweets, according to health insurance companies.

Make ginger water yourself: instructions
"One or two cups of fresh ginger tea in the morning stimulate the metabolism and promote detoxification," recommends medical Ayurveda specialist Gabriele Braun.
She advises preparing ginger water as follows in order to utilize all active ingredients in the best possible way:
Bring 0.5 liters of water to a boil.
Cut two to three centimeters of organic ginger root into thin slices and simmer in water for ten minutes.
Allow to cool slightly and drink in small sips before breakfast or until about ten in the morning.
Due to the stimulating effect, later intake can have a negative effect on sleep in sensitive people.
