There are only two other ingredients in it and they are water and organic alcohol. This is really high quality and won’t disappoint.

Extracts are the fastest working herbal preparation available.

The Ancient Chinese revered ginger and have been using it for 5000 years. Shen Nung, mythical emperor/sage, recommends it for fevers, colds, chills and even claims it put a person “in touch the with spiritual realm.”

Modern scientists are starting to see what the ancients knew. The New England Journal Of Medicine wrote an article on how ginger reduces cholesterol and lowers blood pressure. This is major since heart disease and stroke account for about half the deaths in America.

This herb is a modern day gift and more people should enjoy it. These tea bags are a great way to ensure you do.

Any Dangers Involved With Ginger?

Herbs are WAY safer than prescription medicines and over the counter drugs. The latter two are highly addictive and cause hundreds of thousands of deaths a year; sadly they’re one of the leading causes of death in America.

Just use common sense with ginger and take proper dosages. If you are pregnant you should ask a doctor before using any herbs or medicine. Some people who take it for indigestion experience heartburn.

If you are giving to a child. a weak or debilitated person or the elderly you should give 1/3rd to 2/3rd of the recommended dosage.
