Healthy, because
Sea buckthorn provides plenty of vitamin C and thus heats up the combustion process. In combination with the essential oil gingerol from the ginger, this makes an unbeatable team, which brings the metabolism up to full speed.
Even smarter
The essential oils in lemon grass not only provide the exotic, refreshing taste - they also have a calming effect on the digestive organs and also slightly reduce fever.
