I first came across this recipe when I was struggling with IBS. I was desperate for something that would help to calm my stomach, and I had heard that turmeric and ginger were both good for digestion. I decided to give this recipe a try, and I'm so glad I did! It's now my go-to drink whenever I'm feeling nauseous or bloated.
