There's a delicious healing immune boosting tea that has been revered in India since ancient times for its powerful effects. Down below, I've shared full details on how to make it, as well as some of the remarkable health benefits it possesses for your immune system.
The flavorful and potent formula below has been used as an immune boosting tea (in various forms) for over 2000 years in India and the Far East as a daily health tonic.
I’ve been making it quite a bit lately, because one of its main ingredients, turmeric, is a go-to cold remedy, among its hundreds of other benefits because of it's immune boosting powers.
Turmeric is known as the “Golden Goddess” because of the seemingly limitless number of health benefits in its golden-hued rhizome. Turmeric contains at least 20 antibiotic compounds, 14 known anti-cancer compounds, 10 antioxidants and 12 anti-inflammatory agents, to name a few.
The combination of turmeric, ginger, pepper and lemon is perfect for the colds and sore throats that come with the fall and winter months because of it's immune boosting properties to fight simple infections.
And when you add in the energizing and mood-elevating effects of tulsi (holy basil) plus a good honey, you’re left with a supercharged tea recipe that delights the taste buds.
Once you begin to harness the power of herbs, your tea kettle will take on a whole new meaning in your life and your health.
