Glow from Within: The Immunity Shot That Supports Your Skin and Defences
When life gets busy, your body — and your skin — often show the first signs of stress. From low energy and breakouts to dullness and inflammation, it all starts on the inside. That’s where this simple yet powerful Immunity Shot comes in. Packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and natural immune boosters, it’s a daily ritual that supports your body from the inside out.
The Recipe
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• Large piece of fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon organic turmeric
• Pinch of black pepper (to activate the turmeric)
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 200 mL filtered water
Blend or shake well, strain if desired, and take as a quick morning shot or sip slowly with warm water.
Why It Works
Immune Support
• Ginger, garlic, and turmeric are known for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties — supporting the body’s natural defences and helping to fight off everyday bugs.
• Vitamin C from lemon boosts white blood cell function and helps neutralize free radicals.
• Honey is soothing, antibacterial, and a natural source of antioxidants.
Skin Benefits
• Turmeric helps calm internal inflammation, which can reduce breakouts, puffiness, and redness over time.
• Lemon supports liver detoxification, which plays a key role in clear, healthy skin.
• Cayenne and ginger stimulate circulation — giving your skin a natural glow and promoting cell regeneration.
• Honey adds hydration and antibacterial properties, working from within to support clearer skin.
Why the Black Pepper?
Turmeric contains curcumin, the active compound that delivers most of its benefits — but it’s not easily absorbed on its own. Black pepper contains piperine, which can increase curcumin’s absorption by up to 2,000%. Just a pinch makes all the difference.
A Simple Ritual That Adds Up
This immunity shot isn’t just about staying well during cold season — it’s a daily investment in your long-term skin health, digestion, energy, and resilience. It’s natural, affordable, and easy to make — no gimmicks, just real ingredients your body will recognise and respond to.
TIP: Batch prep a few servings and store them in a glass jar in the fridge to keep your mornings effortless.
