This six ingredient wellness shot is the perfect balance of flavors.
A natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, ginger is known to support digestion and relieve nausea (source).
The source of the delightful citrus flavour in this shot, lemon is naturally detoxifying and alkalising in the body. It's most renowned for its high vitamin C content, which helps boost immunity (source).
Research suggests that vitamin C reduces the duration of colds in the general population. A review of several dozen studies revealed that vitamin C supplements taken during a cold can reduce the duration of the illness by 8 per cent in adults and 14 per cent in children.
Turmeric adds some bitterness and may have anti-inflammatory properties (source). It is well-balanced by the sweetness of the raw honey, which has wonderful anti-bacterial properties.
