How Does Fennel Tea Help With Inflammation

Fennel – is full of anti-inflammatory phenolic compounds. Some of the most active ones are caffeoylquinic acid, rosmarinic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol. These are all antioxidants that when consumed regularly, help block pro-inflammatory pathways and reduce oxidative stress.

Ginger – multiple studies show that drinking ginger tea can significantly reduce inflammation in the body. That’s because ginger contains 2 powerful compounds called 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. Both work by stopping the production of inflammatory compounds and blocking key inflammatory pathways in the body.

Lemon Juice – adds flavor and vitamin C to your tea which is great for boosting the immune system and reducing oxidative stress. 

Raw Honey – not only adds sweetness to your tea but it also neutralizes free radicals that lead to oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
