CONTRAINDICATIONS
Consumption
of ginger before surgery is also a risk because of the risk of bleeding. If you
have to undergo surgery, you should avoid drinking ginger tea in the previous
two weeks.
Diabetes - high blood pressure
Avoid taking ginger tea and blood thinning medications such
as warfarin or aspirin at the same time. Ginger can lower blood sugar and blood
pressure, so if you are taking medications for diabetes or high blood pressure,
talk to your doctor because you may not need as much medicine if you also take
ginger tea regularly.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women should
also be careful because ginger can cause uterine contractions. It has also been
shown to interfere with the absorption of dietary iron and fat-soluble
vitamins. Drinking ginger tea is particularly discouraged in the last weeks of
pregnancy because of the increased risk of bleeding.
