FAQ
How does this remedy boost my immune system?
Each ingredient has powerful properties: honey has antimicrobial qualities, turmeric contains curcumin which has anti-inflammatory effects, ginger supports digestion and has antiviral properties, and lemon is rich in Vitamin C, essential for immune function.
Can I drink this every day?
Yes, this drink is safe to consume daily, especially during flu season or when you feel your immune system needs a boost. Just remember that moderation is key—too much of any remedy may have adverse effects.
Can I use powdered ginger instead of fresh?
Fresh ginger is preferred for its higher potency, but if powdered ginger is all you have, you can use it as a substitute. Use about 1/4 teaspoon of powdered ginger in place of the fresh.
