Assists in Cramp Pain Minimization
Women can take chai tea to minimize the pains associated with menstrual cramps, in part due to its flavor ingredients, including ginger. Ginger can be used as a remedy for reducing menstrual pains because it contains salicylates and other compounds with pain-relieving qualities.
Fennel can also be used to manage pain arising from cramps. In addition to all its other benefits, sipping a soothing mug of chai tea flavored with ginger and fennel offers a much needed stress break.
