Why people make this tea
There is a particular irony to summer in many cities: the heat outside is sweltering, but step into any office, restaurant, or metro carriage and you’re hit by blasting cold air. This constant movement between extremes — hot and cold, sweating and chilling — is one of the most common triggers for what Chinese medicine calls “wind-cold”: headache, stiff neck, aching lower back and knees, and general muscle tightness that feels impossible to shake. Nourilo’s lemongrass and ginger tea is designed for exactly this pattern. Lemongrass disperses wind and opens the channels; ginger warms the surface and breaks up stagnation; together they create a drink that is fragrant, approachable, and noticeably warming.
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
