I have a lot of GI issues related to my chronic migraine condition, so having a ginger tea around is a must. Grabbed this blend from my local grocery and actually preferred it to the brand I’d been buying, Twinings of London’s Lemon Ginger. The lemon flavor doesn’t taste as artificial/cleaner-esque in this tea compared to the Twinings, and while I know most people abhor licorice root, I’m not one of them, and I like the inclusion here because it takes a little bit of edge off ginger spiciness while still allowing a nice amount of healing ginger. Sadly it has been perpetually sold out on every subsequent trip I’ve made to the store, so I had to restock the Twinings that I don’t like as much. This was definitely my first choice, though.

Hey, my migraines give me GI issues too! I thought it was just a weird quirk of my body.
Nope, it’s a normal part of what happens in the neurology of the brain (and part of why I get so annoyed when people think a migraine is “just a bad headache” when it is a neurological disorder that has many symptoms, including but not limited to head pain).
Same! My symptoms are a whole complicated constellation, which means that treatment/symptom management has to happen on multiple fronts too. For what it’s worth, in case it’s helpful, my hands-down favorite migraine blend is Triple Goddess from Calabash Tea for loose leaf and Harney Ginger Lemon for teabags. Neither is exceptionally cheap for a ginger tea but I tend to buy my ginger tea in bulk, which helps with cost.
I’ll have to try those out! I tend to just grab whatever is easily on-hand at the grocery store but they often aren’t “favorites” when it comes to ginger teas. My favorites (both loose leaf, and both currently not on hand for my cupboard at the moment) are Rishi’s Tangerine Ginger (not recommended to hibi-haters) and Davidson Tea’s Tulsi Ginger Lemon.
Ooh. I have been meaning to try Rishi out, will keep this in mind!
Hm. I should tell that my brother that during migraine GI issues can happen and they are normal.
