When Should I Drink Ginger Tea?

Ginger tea has long been a staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern wellness practices, especially for women seeking natural remedies for cramps, digestion, and overall vitality. And customers at Ye Traditions often ask: when is the best time to drink ginger tea? Should you enjoy it in the morning or at night? And if you’re dealing with menstrual cramps, when should you start drinking it? It really depends on what your body needs!!

Morning vs. Night: When to Drink Ginger Tea

Drinking Ginger Tea in the Morning

Starting your day with a warm cup of ginger tea can boost digestion, improve circulation, and awaken your body. Ginger’s natural warming properties help stimulate metabolism and promote gut health, making it a great addition to your morning routine. In Singapore’s humid climate, ginger tea can help counteract excessive dampness in the body, a common concern in TCM.

Drinking Ginger Tea at Night

Many women enjoy ginger tea in the evening for its soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. If you have trouble sleeping due to bloating or indigestion, a warm cup of ginger tea before bed can help. However, because ginger is naturally energizing, some people worry that it might be too stimulating at night. I am a night-time ginger tea drinker, but instead, I add milk to it to make myself a warm ginger latte 1-2 hours before I go to bed. Not just me, but many ladies have found it help them sleep better. 

Ginger Tea for Menstrual Cramps: Timing Matters

For women experiencing menstrual cramps, ginger tea is a powerful natural remedy. TCM recommends drinking ginger tea a few days before your period starts to help warm the body, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain intensity. Consuming ginger tea consistently in the days leading up to your period can help minimize cramping and discomfort. If cramps are severe, you can continue drinking it throughout your cycle for relief.
