Flu Fighter, Cold Crusher, and All-Around Immune Elixir. Try a shot of this first thing in the morning or before a meal.
This elixir is incredibly immune boosting as most of these ingredients are high in vitamin C, but also high in anti-septic, anti-microbial, and anti-oxidant properties. It is also especially helpful before meals to initiate digestion and help stabilise blood sugar levels.
- Apple cider vinegar is rich in fibre, specifically, pectin which improves blood cholesterol levels as well as a great fibre for our gut microbiome.
- ACV has been used for its immune-boosting qualities for a long time, it even dates back to the Hippocrates era. Lemon juice is helpful to increase bile production, which will encourage the digestion of fats in our diet.
- Lemons are great to have on hand to help with any gas and general indigestion.
During the retreats we serve this elixir to guests as their morena (morning) tonic, alternatively, a couple of teaspoons before a meal period would be suitable.
