Benefits of Indian Tea

Indian tea, also known as Chai, is prepared with black tea and spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves, resulting in an aromatic drink full of medicinal properties. It aids digestion, strengthens immunity, improves circulation, and has a stimulating effect due to its natural caffeine content. In addition, its spices have an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action, contributing to more energy and well-being in your daily life.

Contraindications of Indian Tea

Although healthy, Indian tea should be consumed with caution. People sensitive to caffeine may experience insomnia, palpitations, or irritability. Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and individuals with gastritis or heart problems should avoid excessive consumption. Sweetened or processed versions can also contain a lot of sugar, which reduces the drink’s benefits.
