Ginger, lemon and garlic are ingredients we know from the kitchen, but their effects far exceed ordinary culinary use. In folk medicine this combination has been used for centuries — as a means to strengthen immunity, detoxify the body and support vascular health. In recent years the recipe with these three ingredients has also come to the fore in modern natural medicine, and many people praise it as a simple but effective way to relieve the body of toxins and protect the heart.
Why does this combination work?
- Ginger – has strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It helps with digestion, relieves nausea, headaches and promotes blood circulation.
- Garlic – referred to as a “natural antibiotic.” It strengthens defenses, lowers cholesterol levels, supports heart and vascular health and helps regulate blood pressure.
- Lemon – a rich source of vitamin C, which acts as a powerful antioxidant. It detoxifies the liver, alkalizes the body and supports the absorption of other nutrients.
- Apple cider vinegar – regulates pH in the body, aids digestion and supports metabolism.
- Cayenne pepper (optional) – increases body warmth, improves blood circulation and boosts immune responses.
