Tumeric gives the drink it’s name and colour; it is a powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiseptic used since ancient times. It helps to soothe respiratory ailments and purifies the life to just name a few.
Cinnamon is known to help prevent and shorten the duration of the flu. It has the highest antioxidant strength of all the food sources and is several hundred times more potent than any fruit or vegetable.
