Ginger shots are all the rage these days especially within the wellness community and with the wonders it does to the immune system, it’s not quite difficult to see why. Among the many benefits of ginger, our favourite ones include treating nausea, antibacterial, antiviral and anti fungal properties, improves digestion and blood circulation as well as it helps burn fat and lose weight (hello summer bod!).
Living in the modern world, we are constantly on the move and exposed to bacteria and viruses. When our immune system is low, our bodies can easily catch these bugs so it’s key to always be mindful of having strong immunity. Nothing does the job like a homemade ginger lemon shot drink and prevention is always best. Trust us when we say it works like magic!
With the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits of turmeric and a cleansing lemon juice, this ginger shot is as potent and powerful as it can get. Food is medicine, consider this your all natural antibiotic!
