Important

Think of these as supportive food/drink habits, not treatments for diseases. Evidence for many traditional herbal claims is limited. Ginger has some evidence for nausea; turmeric supplement claims for many conditions are much less conclusive.

Keep quantities mild, especially if drinking regularly.
Ginger and turmeric can cause stomach upset or reflux in some people.
Herbs can interact with medicines — ask your clinician if you take tablets daily.
Skip unknown wild leaves and strong “detox” concentrates sold as cures.

See a clinician

Fever with breathing trouble, chest pain, severe vomiting, or symptoms that do not settle are not a tea project.
