Ginger Tea Side Effects
Ginger is generally considered suitable for health, but when it is consumed more than necessary or consumed more than needed for the body, it could lead to some side effects such as;
- Abdominal discomfort
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Heartburn
- Increases the tendency to bleed
- Causes cases of cardiac arrhythmias and central nervous system depression when overdosed.
- It causes dermatitis when used topically.
