Medicinal Tea Month

"Cinnamon warm and ginger bright,
Chase the chills and set things right.
Sip it slow, let troubles flee,
Health and cheer in a cup of tea!"

Feeling a little under the strange weather? A cup of tea and this warmly coloured tartan intended to represent the spice of cinnamon and ginger with orange peel might be just the thing. For centuries, cinnamon and ginger have been treasured in folk medicine as powerful healers, their warm, aromatic qualities used to ward off illness and restore vitality. Ancient herbalists prized cinnamon for its ability to warm the body, improve circulation, and balance digestion—making it a go-to remedy for colds, sluggish digestion, and even fatigue. In medieval Europe, it was a prized spice thought to protect against plague, while in traditional Chinese medicine, it was used to invigorate the blood and dispel cold. Ginger, with its fiery bite, has long been a favorite remedy for nausea, aching joints, and winter chills. Ancient sailors chewed ginger to prevent seasickness, and in Ayurveda, it was called the “universal medicine” for its ability to aid digestion and fight inflammation. Together, these two spices have been used across cultures to soothe the stomach, warm the body, and keep illness at bay—an age-old wisdom that still holds true today.🤎 💛 🧡 🤎 🍂 🍵 ✨

Ginger and cinnamon are two powerful spices known for their medicinal properties, each offering a range of health benefits. Ginger, rich in bioactive compounds like gingerol, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to aid digestion, reduce nausea, and combat inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make it beneficial for easing muscle soreness, arthritis symptoms, and even lowering blood sugar levels. Additionally, ginger has been found to support immune function and improve cardiovascular health by promoting healthy circulation and reducing oxidative stress. Its natural ability to soothe an upset stomach and reduce nausea makes it particularly useful for motion sickness, morning sickness, and chemotherapy-related nausea.


Cinnamon, derived from the bark of trees in the Cinnamomum family, is equally celebrated for its medicinal properties. It contains cinnamaldehyde, a compound responsible for its distinct flavor and many of its health benefits. Cinnamon has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity, making it particularly beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, it possesses strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help protect against infections. Cinnamon is also known for its anti-inflammatory effects, which may aid in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders. When combined, ginger and cinnamon create a potent natural remedy that supports overall health, enhances metabolism, and strengthens the body's defense against illness.
