I thought I’d share my favorite go-to tea for fall. Back to school usually means back to bacteria causing flu and cold season. So, I always start September with a daily dose of lemon ginger and honey tea. I’ll also often add red pepper flakes because cayenne pepper is so good for a sore throat.

Recipe:
Fill cup with hot water and add one teaspoon of honey, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, teabag of choice if desired, and sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you have a sore throat.

Honey, lemon and ginger tea offers several notable health benefits that make it a popular wellness beverage.

The ginger provides powerful anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, helping to soothe upset stomachs, reduce nausea, and may help alleviate symptoms of motion sickness or morning sickness.

Lemon contributes a significant dose of vitamin C, which supports immune system function and acts as an antioxidant to help protect cells from damage. The citrus also aids in hydration and may help with iron absorption when consumed with meals.

Honey adds natural antimicrobial properties and can help soothe sore throats, while providing a gentler alternative to refined sugar.

Together, this combination is often used to support immune health during cold and flu season, promote healthy digestion, and provide a warming, comforting drink that may help reduce inflammation throughout the body.

However, it’s worth noting that while these ingredients have traditional uses and some scientific support, individual results may vary and this tea should complement, not replace, a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🧬 August is Autoinflammatory & Autoimmune Awareness Month in Canada 🇨🇦
What you don’t know could be costing your health—and we’re here to help you rise above it.

📊 Canadian Statistics You Need to Know
An estimated 1.2% of Canadians aged 16+ live with diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis, with over 23,000 new cases annually (Autoinflammatory Awareness Month PMC Canada)

Beyond RA, research shows that autoimmune and systemic rheumatic diseases affect between 2 and 5 per 1,000 Canadians, increasing with age and predominately impacting women (PubMed)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) now affects about 290 in every 100,000 Canadians aged 20+, with 70% of those being women—a prevalence that grows by 1.5% each year (Canada)

Meanwhile, global trends show autoimmune conditions rising at an estimated 12.5%–19% annually—driven by environmental, lifestyle, and diagnostic shifts (PMC)

💡 What This Means for You
These illnesses often go misdiagnosed or overlooked. Many individuals suffer in silence—feeling dismissed when symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, unexplained inflammation, or rashes appear despite “normal” labs. Early detection and individualized support can shift the narrative.

🌿 How We Can Help
We offer root‑cause naturopathic assessments for chronic inflammation and immune imbalance.

You get the guidance, validation, and personalized care you deserve—especially when conventional testing misses the mark.
