In the world of Ayurveda, "Agni" (our digestive fire) is the key to overall health. Starting your day with a warm, spiced tonic helps to gently wake up your digestion and hydrate your skin from the inside out. This Calm & Glow Tonic is a simple ritual that helps clear away toxins and brings a natural radiance to your morning.
Functional Focus: Vitamin C for immune support, gingerols for digestive ease, and natural enzymes for gut health.
Prep time: 3 minutes
Serves: 1

1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or ½ tsp ginger powder)
-
1 tsp raw honey
-
A tiny pinch of Himalayan pink salt

Stir the lemon juice, ginger, and salt into your warm water.

Let the water cool slightly until it is warm to the touch (not boiling).

Crunchy Mama Tip:
Never add raw honey to boiling water! In Ayurveda, heating honey to high temperatures is thought to alter its properties and make it difficult to digest. Wait until your tonic is at a drinkable temperature before stirring in the honey to keep all those beneficial enzymes and antioxidants alive and well.
