1. Expel wind and cold: Both rock sugar and ginger have dispersing properties. Consumption of this tea can help relieve surface symptoms, dispel cold, and accelerate blood circulation, effectively alleviating symptoms such as chills, cough, and runny nose caused by getting caught in the rain or catching a chill.
2. Alleviate dysmenorrhea: For women, rock sugar ginger tea helps relieve menstrual pain. Its warming properties can soothe the smooth muscles of the uterus and reduce discomfort.
