top organic and natural tonic to boost your immune system: tonics of boho original jamu

what is jamu?

Jamu is a traditional herbal medicine from Indonesia, dating back over a millennium. The recipes in Balinese jamu can vary depending on the region, but most share a common base of turmeric, ginger, lime, and honey. These ingredients, recognized for their medicinal properties, have been used to support everything from digestion to inflammation. With Tonics of Boho’s Original Jamu, the rich cultural heritage of this beverage is being reimagined for the modern consumer, bringing together flavor and function in a bottle.

the power-packed ingredients of tonics of boho’s original jamu

1. turmeric: the anti-inflammatory powerhouse

Turmeric, the Golden spice, is well known for its active compound, Curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Inflammation is a common factor in many diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders [#1]. Curcumin can help lower our levels of inflammation, potentially supporting immune health by reducing stress on the body’s systems [#2].

Turmeric’s role isn’t just about fighting inflammation, it also provides great immunity defense. Its antioxidants help protect the body from oxidative damage, a factor that can weaken the immune system [#3]. Consuming turmeric in our Original Jamu can help enhance your immune system, especially in times of heightened stress.

2. ginger: digestive health and immune support

Tonics of Boho Original Jamu includes another potent ingredient, Ginger, included for its ability to ease digestive issues such as nausea and indigestion [#4]. But, its benefits go beyond the stomach. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, similar to those of turmeric, that play a role in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which can impact immune function [#5].

Research has shown that ginger can enhance immune function by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria and promoting the production of antibodies [#6]. This makes it an excellent partner in fortifying your body’s natural defenses.

3. coconut water: natural hydration for immune health

Coconut water is often referred to as “nature’s sports drink” due to its high electrolyte content. Staying hydrated is key to maintaining a top-shelf immune system, as dehydration can impair the body’s ability to transport nutrients and flush out toxins [#7]. Coconut water also contains a few other surprises, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, minerals that support overall health and aid in recovery from illness.

4. lime juice: a vitamin c boost

Vitamin C is widely regarded as one of the most important nutrients for our immune health, and our Original Jamu provides a notable dose in every bottle. Vitamin C supports the immune system by promoting our white blood cell production, which helps fight off infections [#8]. It can also act as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage.

5. honey: nature’s soothing sweetener

Honey, earth’s natural sweetener in Original Jamu, is rich in antioxidants and has been used since the pharaohs to soothe sore throats, heal cuts, and boost immune function [#9]. Its anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties make it a natural remedy for fighting off infections. Studies have shown that honey can help reduce the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms [#10].

6. peppercorns: enhancing nutrient absorption

Peppercorns may seem like a minor ingredient, but these lil balls of spice play a crucial role in the effectiveness of Original Jamu. The compound Piperine found in black pepper enhances the absorption of Curcumin by up to 2,000% [#11]. Without black peppercorns, you wouldn’t be able to fully benefit from the immune-supporting effects of turmeric.

7. cinnamon: blood sugar regulation and antioxidant benefits

Cinnamon is another star ingredient in Original Jamu. Recognized for its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, these lil’ sticks help prevent energy crashes and support metabolic health [#12]. Just like turmeric and ginger, cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties that benefit the immune system [#13].

tonics of boho’s original jamu vs. immunity shots

While immunity shots are trendy, they often don’t offer sustained benefits like Original Jamu. Unlike quick shots, Original Jamu provides ongoing, balanced support. It’s packed with natural, organic ingredients that nourish your body daily, with no overwhelming bitterness or artificial additives. Original Jamu also connects you to the rich cultural heritage of jamu, offering more than just immune support—it’s a ritual for overall wellness.
