Jamu Juice Recipe

Indonesian Jamu helps to stimulate Agni (digestive fire). As a rejuvenating tonic, taken daily it can ease symptoms of stagnation and dampness. Also contains lemons, turmeric, apple cider vinegar and some other secret ingredients such as umeboshi plums for a sour starter for good bacteria in the gut. A little heat from cayenne and this will get your day started in a good way! I love the tools of naturopathic and herbal medicine, I am constantly amazed at the effectiveness that small changes can make to your long term health. Adding Jamu to your daily routine is yet another way to improve vitality!
