Why Ginger and Lemon Are a Perfect Pair
Ginger and lemon are a dynamic duo for respiratory wellness. Ginger’s natural anti-inflammatory compounds reduce irritation in the respiratory tract, while its expectorant properties help break up and expel mucus. Lemon, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, strengthens your immune system and reduces the severity of colds. Adding honey enhances the remedy with its antimicrobial properties, soothing sore throats and calming coughs.
