Dealing with PMS cramps can be exhausting, and many women are on the lookout for quick, natural remedies to ease the pain. Actor Soha Ali Khan recently took to Instagram to share her go-to PMS cramp relief tea, claiming it is simple to make and effective in soothing discomfort while also lifting the mood.
Her recipe involves boiling freshly grated ginger with a cinnamon stick, then finishing it with a spoonful of honey for flavor and added benefits. According to Soha, this herbal tea helps relieve cramps and supports overall health during the menstrual cycle.
But does it actually work? To separate fact from fad, NDTV spoke to Pavithra N Raj, Chief Dietitian at Manipal Hospital, Yeshwantpur. She explained that the three ingredients indeed have properties that may help with menstrual cramps. Ginger lowers prostaglandins — hormone-like substances responsible for cramping — while cinnamon improves blood flow, relaxes uterine muscles, and reduces inflammation. Honey, with its anti-inflammatory effects and soothing sweetness, enhances the combined benefits.

Experts note that this blend works by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and relaxing the uterus, which can ease PMS-related discomfort. However, while the tea is safe and easy to try, those with recurring or severe menstrual pain should consult a doctor before relying solely on home remedies.
In short, Soha Ali Khan’s PMS cramp relief tea may actually help many women manage cramps naturally, but medical advice should always come first for long-term menstrual health.
