๐Ÿ’ก Why This Works (The Science Behind It) ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿฅ‘

Ginger contains gingerol, a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound that helps with digestion, nausea, and immunity.
Citrus fruits like lemon and orange are rich in vitamin C, boosting collagen production and immune response.
Manuka honey is antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial โ€” known for its healing properties and gut health support.
Cayenne & turmeric (optional) both enhance circulation and reduce inflammation.
