Lemon Ginger Morning Power Elixir

This powerful elixir is packed with warming, stimulating, and detoxifying ingredients—perfect for balancing Kapha dosha, which tends to accumulate during the damp and heavy season. Take this shot in the morning with a glass of warm water to fire up digestion, break up congestion, increase circulation and clear stagnation from the body. 

*I recommend using a juicer, but if you don’t have one, mix the ingredients into a blender and then strain or use a nut milk bag to remove the pulp (takes a little more time). I make this batch on a Sunday and have it in a jar in my refrigerator for the whole week.* (Link to the juicer I use)
