Should you eat ginger in your ovulatory phase?

Ginger is still a nutritious choice in your ovulatory phase. It shines most in the menstrual phase (because it is naturally anti-inflammatory and can ease period cramps and nausea), but estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.

Verdict

Ginger tea is a simple, warming way to soothe cramp days.
