Immunity Shot

Immunity shots can be a helpful tool when you feel that tingle starting in your throat. They’re easy enough to buy in-store, but they can be pricey. These homemade ginger turmeric immunity shots are made without a juicer and feature two delicious herbal variations—fresh thyme for respiratory support and lemongrass for bright, calming flavor. Each version blends anti-inflammatory ingredients with simple, whole-food preparation for a daily wellness boost that’s easy to make at home.
