WHY IT’S HEALTHY

Thyme is a good source of vitamins A and C, iron, manganese and calcium. It can help boost your mood, relieve respiratory conditions like sore throat and bronchitis, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and fight cancer cells. Honey is loaded with antioxidants that help boost the immune system. Lemons are rich in Vitamin C needed for collagen production that is essential for smooth, healthy skin. They are rich in bioflavonoids (which can significantly boost the immune system) and are a good source of B6, thiamin, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Drink 3x a day at the first sign of cold or flu.
