Ginger stimulates bile production and is a beneficial aid to the digestive system. However, if your stomach is empty, ginger tea can sometimes irritate the stomach, manifesting as some symptoms of digestive upset.

To avoid upset your stomach while still receiving the anti-inflammatory benefits of ginger, Dr. Chris Kilham of the American Association of Traditional Medicine advises those with sensitive digestive systems to eat a light meal before consuming ginger or ginger tea. Additionally, you shouldn't drink too much ginger tea at once.
