Manuka honey is anti-inflammatory and helps to fight infections. Manuka honey produced in Australia and New Zealand comes from Manuka bush. It is supposed to treat the gastrointestinal problem; there are, however, limited studies and evidence. Overall, honey has anti-inflammatory properties and can easily replace sugar.
A pinch of cardamom also has its benefits. It is suitable for boosting digestive health. Cardamom has a cooling despite being a spice; this can relive acidity issues. Cardamom can also help treat gastrointestinal problems like indigestion, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and spasms.
Green tea boosts energy and helps in weight loss and digestion. If taken before sleep, it helps in getting good sleep.
