Ginger Water is a soothing, cleansing, and refreshing drink made from fresh ginger simmered in water with optional lemon and honey. While it does not burn fat from specific body areas (no drink can do that), ginger is widely known for supporting digestion, reducing bloating, boosting hydration, and gently helping with metabolism.
Perfect for mornings, sipping throughout the day, or adding to your wellness routine.
