Nutritional Benefits:

Turmeric is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, primarily due to curcumin, which supports joint health, immunity, and digestion. Ginger and black pepper enhance digestion and nutrient absorption, with black pepper helping boost the bioavailability of curcumin.
Cinnamon provides antioxidants and helps regulate blood sugar. This soothing tea is excellent for immune support and digestion, making it a perfect addition to a wellness routine.
