Why it works: Ginger has been used for digestion for over 2,000 years. This is the simplest way to use it every single day.
Ingredients
Steps
Simmer the ginger slices in the water for 5 minutes. Don't boil it hard, a gentle simmer keeps the good stuff intact.
Pour into a mug and let it cool for 2 minutes.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Never add honey to boiling-hot water, it kills the enzymes.
From my cabinetOnce or twice a week I add 2 drops of oil of oregano to this tonic. It's intense, but it's my go-to move whenever my stomach has been unpredictable.
✓Cold-pressed and high in carvacrol, the compound that does the actual work. A bottle of drops lasts months.

Sip it warm, first thing in the morning or after a heavy meal.
Kitchen noteMake a double batch and keep it in the fridge. It's just as good cold over ice.
