We are jugglers! Juggling work, family life, socializing, me time and so on. This is what motivated me to come up with my Winter Immunitea Elixir Recipeā it is grounding and calming to the nervous system amongst the daily juggling act :), so we can stay our most balanced.
Letās see how this recipe combines a few simple beauty ingredients that will help combat stressābalancing our nervous system and our immunity.
Germs are everywhere, as are carcinogens and other toxins that could be detrimental to your overall health and well-being. We canāt live in fear though! And itās not just about the outside. In fact, we canāt control these outside elements, yet we do have some control when it comes to our own immunity.
Well, where do we even start? Since your intestines play a key role in maintaining your bodyās overall immunity, maintaining a healthy gut is essential. Toxins can build up on intestinal walls, and overflow into the rest of your body- keeping you from enjoying vibrant health. This is definitely something we want to avoid.
Thankfully, the healthy lifestyle habits we choose to incorporate into our daily routines can help us maintain a healthy gut that can support us in our life and creating our dreams.
In case youāre more curious, I outline my full plan for gut health in my The Beauty Detox Solution book.
Aromatic, spicy, and full of special flavorāginger is an all-around health and beauty food that helps to promote detoxificationāhelping to keep our body clean from the inside out.

Ginger has immune boosting actionābeing a warming rootāwithout causing irritation. This root promotes a good ole healthy sweat, which can be very helpful during cold and flu seasonāhelping with the detoxification process!
Oh the things I can say about lemons! But you can read about that in other blog posts. ;) What I will say, is that lemons provide us with a great deal of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is one of the most regenerative antioxidants to help abate inflammation and various forms of aging in the body. This antioxidant keeps our cells vibrant and healthy.
Vitamin C is also important for keeping our immunity and energy strongāprotecting us against colds and the flu.
Lemons can boost liverās function and tissue regeneration, being extremely helpful while cleansingāsince the liver is our main detoxifying organ.
Adding this yellow gemās juices to our elixir will aid and protect our bodyās with all these amazing healing properties. You can see why I love lemons so much and why I add them to my hot water every morning!
You may be familiar with cayenne pepper and how itās typically added to food in a natural or powdered form. However, did you know some people actually use it as a cream or capsule? Thatās right! This is because of its detoxifying properties.
These properties aid digestionāhealing an upset tummy and even slowing intestinal gas. I think we all know just how uncomfortable these symptoms can be, but when youāre ahead of the game (eating foods that contribute to a healthy gut), you will avoid these issues less and less, and will know what to do to kick it out of your system.
Something else cayenne pepper does is stimulate your bodyās circulation and reduces acidity. You canāt help but boost your immunity and feel great, by not skimping out on the heat of this pepper (especially if youāve caught that nasty cold or feel something coming on).
This spice use to be neglected until recently, where you can now find it just about anywhereāfrom your local cafes (offering teas), to more and more recipes found on Pinterest where itās being used from entrees to desserts. And who can blame the crowds, with itās mildly earthy aroma and undertone scents of orange or ginger (YUM!).
Turmeric has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. Itās most popular with itās vibrant yellow color in curry dishes.
One of turmericās main roles is in its ability to preserve youthfulness and beauty. Curcumin and other components in turmeric arrest cellular aging by capturing free radicals that cause DNA damage, and, is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.
Turmeric also helps in cleansing the bloodāhelping with healthy blood flow. Makes sense that when you reduce inflammation, you help clean out your nervous system which helps unblock signals to your brain. And BONUS, your body will naturally create healthier, glowing skin.
Add a little coconut nectar or maple syrup for sweetness and this will soon become a healing elixir that youāll want to sip on regularly!
