Lemon juice has been attributed to helping alleviate digestive issues such as constipation. While the large intestine carries most of the responsibility for breaking down food into food waste, the process begins with acid in your stomach. The acidity of lemon helps to break down food before heading off to the large intestine, therefore aiding in the overall digestive process. When it comes to skin, lemon is an astringent that naturally tightens skin and decreases the size of pores. This means less oil for your face. Secondly, lemon has alpha hydroxy acid — a natural acid found in food and food products — which exfoliates the skin and removes dead cells helping to alleviate skin issues such as acne and eczema.

Ginger is an anti-inflammatory, digestive aid, metabolism booster, and stress reliever that contains grounding properties to balance energy levels, acts as an antioxidant, promotes healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and warms the body up in cold temperatures!
