Ginger is a digestive aid and immunity booster. It protects the intestines against ulcers and parasites. Cooked carrots are easy to digest. The carotenes from carrots gently cleanse the liver, support immunity and help maintain healthy skin, eyes and hair.
The beauty of this dish is its simplicity. It’s the perfect way to cleanse your digestive system the day after eating a holiday meal or when you feel you need to hit the reset button.
