I was wanting to know if anyone has tried Ginger tea? I have seen different dr. on TV recommend ginger for so many things. I saw an info thing on TV and the drink was way expensive but since the main indegrent was ginger I thought I would try just the ginger tea without all the other stuff. I haven't tried it yet but I do have the tea.

Members shared their experiences with ginger tea for inflammation and digestive issues, with several finding it helpful for stomach problems and GERD, though some noted it caused heartburn when made from raw ginger root. Many members recommended turmeric combined with black pepper extract for better absorption, sharing that it serves as an effective anti-inflammatory alternative to NSAIDs, with some preferring capsules over tea and others exploring specialized forms like Curamed for gentler stomach tolerance. A recurring theme was the importance of consistent daily use to notice benefits, with one member observing increased hand pain after missing their morning supplement routine.

Lol this is funny. As I read the above I am drinking turmeric tea with ginger (Trader Joe’s) I just started with this. My acupuncturist advised me and said t is great for inflammation. So I’m giving it a go. It can’t hurt. Good luck!

@A MyFibroTeam Member, you may find a form of turmeric more to your liking: research Curamed which is the essential oil of circumin. It is easy on the stomach, anti-inflammatory, and much more potent than turmeric root powder. The same company makes Curamin, with added extract of boswellia, specifically for pain. Both can be found at Amazon and are rather pricey.

I take turmeric with black pepper extract, the black pepper extract is important for absorption, in capsule form three times a day. I take 1000 mg. It's the only anti inflammatory I can take, as I can't take oral NSAIDS due to my stomach. There are times I think a capsule has leaked in the bottle, though, because I'll get wicked heartburn after taking them. lol 🐧

Yes, I buy the bags or make it myself. It helps me with my tummy issues and probably inflammation levels. I like the taste...it's a bit spicy.
