Instructions

- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture becomes evenly blended.
- Close the jar tightly and refrigerate.
- For the best flavor, allow the mixture to rest for several days before using it. If following the preparation shown in the original recipe, begin taking it on the 7th day.
- Stir the mixture before each use.
How to Take It
Take 1 teaspoon once daily, starting on the 7th day.

Important Notes
This homemade mixture is a food preparation, not a medical treatment. Turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, lemon, and honey are commonly used as foods and flavoring ingredients, but this recipe should not be presented as a proven treatment or cure for a disease.
Honey is high in naturally occurring sugars, so people who need to limit sugar intake should take that into account. Anyone taking regular medication or managing a medical condition should check with a healthcare professional before using concentrated amounts of herbs or spices regularly.
Tip: Start with a small amount to see how your body tolerates the mixture, especially if you are not accustomed to ginger or turmeric.
