My personal experience with taking Ginger and Lemon Tea bring me only positive effect. Usually, I am doing once a week a detoxing day in which I am eating only fruits /except bananas/ and drinking only water and Ginger and Lemon tea/ either warm or cold/. This keeps me in good health and boosts my metabolism.
Ginger has a strong taste, if you like a bit spicy flavors or if not you aways can add some sugar or honey in.
Usually, there is no information that ginger causes harm in pregnancy or during breastfeeding, it is best to talk with your GP before drinking. My close friend shared with me that while she breastfed her baby she couldn't drink it because the baby probably didn't like the taste.Ginger and Lemon tea doesn't seem to have serious side effects, but for some people is possible heartburn or stomach upset because of the spicy taste. Before you drink this tea is good to check if you have an allergy to ginger. Once you tried I am sure you would love it.
