Why people make this tea
Nourilo came across fresh lemongrass at a Southeast Asian grocery shop and used some to cook pork — a combination that perked up his appetite immediately. With the leftover stalks, he thought: why not make a simple warm drink? Two apples, a few slices of ginger, a little brown sugar — and the result was a fragrant, lightly sweet tea that settled the stomach beautifully.
Lemongrass is beloved across Southeast Asian cuisines not just for its flavor but for its traditional wellness applications. In Chinese food therapy it is associated with dispelling wind and dampness, and with easing pain. Combined with apple and warming ginger, this becomes a pleasant everyday drink that is easy to make and gentle on the body.
What studies say about the key ingredients
Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.
- Ginger
Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
