Too much of Ginger Tea may lead to side effects

We all love to sip on a hot cup of adrak wali chai, especially during the chilly winter mornings. Full of flavour, adrak/ ginger is famous for its medicinal properties and has been a popular Ayurvedic herb to treat several conditions.

From soothing a sore throat to flushing out toxins from our body, adrak is a magical ingredient we all swear by. But you will be surprised to know that this powerful herb can also lead to several side effects when consumed excessively.

Read ahead to know the side effects of consuming too much ginger. 

Can lead to diarrhoea

As per experts, ginger accelerates the passage of food and stool through the intestines, which can cause unrest, restlessness and even diarrhoea.  

Not safe for pregnant women

Consuming ginger beyond the prescribed quantity (1500 mg) per day increases the chances of miscarriage. Thus, to be on a safer side, experts suggest avoiding too much ginger during pregnancy and have it only after consulting your doctor.  

Can lead to bleeding

Ginger has anti-platelet properties. Too much ginger can lead to bleeding, especially when consumed with clove or garlic.

Ginger interferes with blood thickening, so if you have trouble with blood clotting or excess bleeding, ginger can make that even worse. 

Can lead to heartburn

There is enough evidence to prove ginger could reduce acid reflux. But there are even more pieces of evidence that show that ginger can cause heartburn and irritation. Ginger has gingerols that can irritate the stomach into producing more acid. 

Can lower blood pressure

Multiple studies have found that ginger can reduce blood pressure, which is a good thing in patients with high blood pressure. But people who have normal or low blood pressure might feel lightheaded or weak after having ginger tea.  

Prevents hair regrowth

A Chinese study found the effect ginger has on hair growth. It found that if you are trying to grow your hair long or struggling with baldness, you might want to avoid consuming ginger. Gingerol can prevent hair regrowth.
