Taking to his social media handle, a professionally trained gastroenterologist from AIIMS, Harvard, and Stanford, Dr Saurabh Sethi (@doctor.sethi) shared how he turned his black tea into an anti-inflammatory powerhouse. Black tea isn’t just your regular drink; it’s packed with antioxidants that help fight inflammation and support your gut.
Turning it into an anti-inflammatory tea, as Dr Saurabh Sethi suggests, can soothe your stomach, improve digestion, and boost immunity. It’s an easy way to make your daily cup both relaxing and healing.
Here’s What You Need To Do
Just like Dr Saurabh, if you’re also looking forward to turning your black into an anti-inflammatory powerhouse, here’s the process you can follow—
1. Take a vessel to boil water and add black tea leaves. Dr Sethi explains that black tea is loaded with polyphenols and antioxidants, which can help support overall health.
2. As the tea brews, drop in a small slice of fresh ginger. Ginger is known to improve gut movement and aid digestion, making the tea more soothing.
3. Lightly crush a few cardamom pods and add them to the mix. Cardamom helps reduce bloating and brings a natural sweetness and aroma to the tea without needing sugar.
4. Add a tiny piece of clove. According to Dr Sethi, clove contains eugenol — a compound that helps support liver health.
5. Once the tea is brewed, strain it and let it cool slightly. You can add a small drizzle of honey for taste if you prefer. And that’s it, your healthy tea is ready to sip.
