ABOUT
Turmeric is a cousin of ginger.

Ginger has been shown to aid with digestion due to its phenolic compounds, and being a diaphoretic, ginger induces sweating or warming from within...this is how the booster got its name! Did you also know: ginger has been shown to be an anti-inflammatory and can be a natural pain reliever and nausea reducer!
