IMMUNITY BOOSTER HEALTH TONIC
You might’ve seen this yellow immunity health-tonic across my Instagram over Winter & Spring.. and for very good reasons.
It’s been helping me keep my immune-defence strong and agile, and have cut down the length & severity of my cold-symptoms when they have come on.
It’s incredibly easy to make, and won’t cost you much. A little also goes a long way, and you just need a little bit of the tonic every morning on an empty stomach. Twice a day if you feel a virus coming on or are battling the flu.
So what’s in it? Well, just a few simple ingredients, but they really pack a punch and your insides will love you for it.
See below for the recipe:
