Yes, absolutely.

Depending on the person and how much is ingested the heating/sweating
usually happens regularly and reliably when one consumes that much at
one sitting..  Ginger is very "hot"  and is often used specifically to
warm an individual (as, say, a brandy would do) and also works very well
to remove nausea and to increase digestive activity to improve
digestion.  It is also drying to the body system in general.  The
generally accepted amount to use is about 1-2 teaspoons of raw ginger to
8-12 ounces of boiling water.   The longer it steeps the stronger it
gets (it seems).

Just as an aside, the tea bags of ginger are dried ginger powder.  Dried
ginger is much hotter and more drying than raw ginger.  If you have the
raw ginger it is more preferable to use in lieu of the dried tea bags as
it is more balanced (not as drying, not as hot).
