Ginger tea is helpful for some people in indigestion, bloating and heaviness after eating.

According to research, the use of ginger helps in improving the digestive system, but it is not correct to consider it as a regular weight loss treatment or a fat burning drink.

The results of a study found that ginger increases the speed of food release from the stomach, but experts say that more research is needed.

In a 2011 study of 126 people, ginger tea improved symptoms such as bloating, nausea and upper stomach pain.

How helpful is ginger tea in losing weight?

Ginger tea itself is not a weight loss treatment, according to a review published in 2025, ginger supplements showed a reduction in waist circumference and body fat percentage, but not a significant reduction in overall body weight or BMI.

Experts say more research is also needed on the use of ginger supplements.

When should you drink ginger tea?

There is no strong evidence that drinking ginger tea in the morning is more beneficial than at night.

Drinking ginger tea after meals or with meals may be appropriate when there is a general complaint or fear of indigestion or bloating.

For those who drink tea at night, it is better to use ginger only by adding it to boiling water.

Avoid adding too much sugar or honey to ginger tea for flavor, say experts.
