Oftimes, during cold and flu season people are looking for a quick way to soothe their throat, tummy, and warm up at the same time. I know I am! Ginger has soothing properties for the tummy, while having that wonderous ability to warm you up. I love it! It also help with arthritis, heartburn, and headaches. Licorice Root has many healing properties such as helping with asthma, cough and cold symptoms, particularly a sore throat by reducing irritation and inflamation. It even helps with arthritis and depression.
