Lemon, ginger, and green tea is a powerful combination of extraordinary benefits to your health. Let’s look at each element individually.
Green Tea
Because green tea leaves are barely processed (mostly just dried), they hold on to tons of nutrients that can be lost with other tea-treatment methods. The leaves are never fermented before being brewed and that is what makes the green kind of tea into a superpower mug of healthfulness for you.
Green Tea is used and enjoyed throughout much of Asia and India as a powerful Antioxidant and even used by rural physicians in older times to aid in the taming of bad cholesterol and to treat some minor heart diseases at the time.
A natural energy enhancer, it was often used and consumed during the day to provide a natural free flowing energy that lasted most of the day and of course had no fall backs with crashes.
Ginger
Ginger grows in China, India, Africa, the Caribbean, and other warm climates. The root of the ginger plant is well known as a spice and flavoring. It’s been a traditional remedy in many cultures for thousands of years.
Ginger is a common folk treatment for upset stomach and nausea. Ginger also seems to aid digestion and saliva flow. Studies found that taking ginger could reduce nausea and vomiting in some pregnant women. Pregnant women should be careful with ginger. Some experts worry that it could raise the risk of miscarriage, especially in high doses. It is not considered dangerous in less than 1500 mg, but check with your doctor.
Ginger seems to help with nausea caused by vertigo as well. There’s mixed evidence about whether ginger helps with nausea caused by motion sickness, surgery, or chemotherapy.
Ginger does seem to help with painful periods. In one study, more than 60% of women felt that ginger lessened pain.
There’s strong evidence that ginger may ease osteoarthritis pain. It may also help with: Rheumatoid arthritis,
muscle and joint pain, & headache. More research is needed to know for sure.
Lab and animal studies have found that ginger may, theoretically:
- Lessen swelling;
- Lower blood sugar;
- Lower cholesterol;
- Protect against Alzheimer’s disease; and
- Prevent blood clotting.
In fact, clinical evidence shows evidence that ginger may be helpful in lowering blood sugar and blood pressure.
Optimal doses of ginger have not been set for any condition. Quality and active ingredients in supplements may vary widely from maker to maker. This makes it very hard to set a standard dose. Ask your doctor for advice.
What are the risks? Side effects. In small doses, ginger has few side effects. High doses of ginger—more than 5 grams a day—increases the chances of side effects. Ginger on the skin may cause a rash. Consumption may cause: Gas, heartburn, upset, stomach and mouth irritation.
Lemons
The health benefits of lemon include treatment of throat infections, indigestion, constipation, dental problems, fever, internal bleeding, rheumatism, burns, obesity, respiratory disorders, cholera and high blood pressure, while it also benefits your hair and skin. Known for its therapeutic property since generations, lemons help to strengthen your immune system, cleanse your stomach, and it is considered a blood purifier.
Lemon juice, especially, has several health benefits associated with it. It is well known as a useful treatment for kidney stones, reducing strokes and lowering body temperature. As a refreshing drink, lemonade helps you to stay calm and cool.
The health benefits of lemon are due to its many nourishing elements like vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, niacin thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and protein. It is a fruit that contains flavonoids, which are composites that contain antioxidant and cancer fighting properties. It helps to prevent diabetes, constipation, high blood pressure, fever, indigestion and many other problems, as well as improving the skin, hair, and teeth. Studies conducted at the American Urological Association highlight the fact that lemonade or lemon juice can eliminate the occurrence of kidney stones by forming urinary citrate, which prevents the formation of crystals.

I would like to know if Green Tea and Ginger Green Tea are any different?
I am allergic to Green Tea and somebody recommended me to drink Ginger Green Tea or Lemon Green Tea. Is it possible for me drink Ginger Green tea, etc? Is it okay?
If you are allergic to Green Tea, then definitely don’t drink anything with it in it. Instead, you can grate raw ginger into water and bring to a simmer for a simple ginger tea. you can add a bit of lemon juice to your likeness as well.
Thank you for a very simple recipe. I’ve been using lemon ginger tea bags, green matcha tea bags, & Splenda. Can’t wait to try your simple fresh ingredient method.
That’s a great idea. Thank you for trying it.
Am literally grateful for this.
Wow I am really amazed by this benefits of ginger an lemon , I just bought it and I am definitely gonna try it out
I combined raw ginger, green tea, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice in a 12+ quarts soup pot and when it cools intend to also add 99.8 pure aloe vera juice after its cooled and i refrigerate it over night.
I have been drinking them as 3 separate drinks since September. I was 260lbs and now 190.
My main meal that keeps me fulfilled is lentils, cabbage and other vegtables mixed with a ton of garlic,, crushed red pepper,herbs, and black pepper. I have also been known to add meet.. I reheat it bowl by bowl ( I make 12 quarts at a time) and I add melted cheese. I sometimes make it as a soup, spread it on flour tortillas, or as a dip with tortilla chips.. I rarely get bored of it since i keep coming up with new ways to enjoy it. You can change the spices in every dish.
I eat fresh fruit, trail mix, dried fruit, peanut butter and crackers, popcorn, and alot more and am looking forward to getting back to 130-135.
I have 6 autoimmune disorders among other issues and won’t use prescription medication because they actually don’t usually help and make me feel sicker.
Perhaps you might have more suggestions, ideas. I am hoping that at least one person might see my baby steps and might try at least on a much smaller scale . Note I don’t stick to times, days, or even refer to this as a diet I just started and was feeling lighter when I get up in the morning.
Thank you for letting me share.
