Potential Health Benefits of Chia Tea

Health benefits of chai come from its rich chai spice profile.  When buying tea and spices, you should consider the origin and if it is organic.

Does Chai Tea Have Health Benefits

Here is a list of some of the common ingredients found in Chai tea:

Licorice: Known for its soothing properties, licorice can help with digestive issues, such as acid reflux and stomach ulcers. It also has anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.

Fennel: Beneficial for digestion, fennel can help relieve bloating, gas, and cramps. It's also known for its diuretic properties and can aid in detoxification.

Anise: Similar to fennel in its effects, anise aids digestion, helps relieve nausea, and can alleviate cramps. It's also known for its expectorant properties, helping with coughs and colds.

Peppermint: Peppermint is widely used for digestive health, particularly for relieving irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. It also has a cooling effect and can help with headaches and tension relief.

Ginger: Ginger is renowned for its anti-nausea properties, making it effective against motion and morning sickness. It's also anti-inflammatory and can help with pain relief and digestion.

Cardamom: This spice is good for digestive health, can help with bad breath, and may have diuretic properties. It's also rich in antioxidants.

Cloves: Cloves have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. They can aid in digestion, help alleviate toothache pain, and have a role in blood sugar regulation.

Black Pepper: Black pepper stimulates digestion, has antioxidant properties, and can enhance the absorption of certain nutrients like turmeric.

Do I recommend Drinking Chai Tea at Home?

Yes, I like tea. Sweet Chai puts a twist on what is regularly brewed as chai. It is a comforting tea. My only dislike is that its flavour is a little too heavy on the licorice/ anise side. The tea leaves my tongue a little numb. These complaints aren't enough to stop me from drinking it. 

Are Chai Tea Ingredients Vegan?

Yes, most are vegan; check the ingredients to be sure. Products marketed as chai tea latte for example, may contain milk powder.
