Why this drink works so well

Honey relieves pain by suppressing inflammation and speeding up the regeneration of mucous membranes. It destroys many resistant bacteria that can cause infections.
Cinnamon has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It is excellent for relieving back and joint pain. Recent studies have shown that it even prevents the occurrence of heart attacks and type 2 diabetes.
Almond milk effectively helps with muscle and head pains. This is due to its content of the substance salicin, which is similar to the active ingredient in aspirin. Additionally, it keeps the heart healthy and regulates body weight.
Black tea reduces muscle damage resulting from intense exercise. It is also effective for headaches, prevents cancer, slows skin aging, strengthens blood vessels and has many other positive effects on the body.
Water is essential for almost all bodily functions. Often, simply drinking water is enough to relieve a headache. Moreover, proper hydration protects the kidneys from damage.
Cardamom suppresses bad breath, flushes toxins from the kidneys, prevents the formation of blood clots, reduces stress, depression and blood pressure and also alleviates flu symptoms. It has positive effects on digestion and the intestines, thereby relieving stomach pain, constipation and bloating.
Ginger reduces menstrual pain and cramps. It suppresses inflammation excellently and is also effective against headaches and stomach pain.
