Look after your gut health and give it a little kick start with this wonderfully refreshing and cleansing juice recipe. Lemons and Limes – from the Ayurvedic perspective, are summery fruits that are useful with hot, spicy foods to cool down their hot, Pitta provoking nature. Stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes, they are useful for indigestion and can be an effective antidote to alcohol. Note: Limes should not be used when one has a cold, congestion and/or cough as they further chill the system.
