Mediterranean Golden Immunity Elixir

Turmeric, Ginger, Cinnamon, Lemon & Raw Honey Tonic

This warming daily tonic blends anti-inflammatory spices with fresh citrus and raw honey — a tradition inspired by natural remedies used across the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions such as Turkey and Greece.

It’s soothing, gently sweet, and designed to be taken in small amounts (about 1 teaspoon daily) as part of a balanced wellness routine.

⚠️ Note: This is a general wellness tonic, not a medical treatment. If you have medical conditions, are pregnant, or take medications (especially blood thinners), consult a healthcare professional before regular use.
