5. Possibly if You’re Pregnant
The message regarding ginger and pregnancy is mixed. While some studies have shown that ginger can be safe and effective for treating morning sickness (4,5), other studies have raised concerns about the safety of high doses of ginger and ginger supplements during pregnancy. Some evidence indicates that ginger tea should not be consumed close to labor, as it may increase bleeding risk. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriages, vaginal bleeding, or blood clotting issues should also stop using ginger products(6).
It is generally recommended that pregnant women avoid high doses of ginger and ginger supplements and instead consume ginger in moderation as part of their regular diet. This, for example, could be in the form of ginger tea. This is easily made by steeping slices of fresh ginger in hot water. Add some lemon and honey for added flavor and nutritional benefits.
