- It is a natural blood thinner and prevents plaque from forming or further developing.
- It is even believed to dissolve plaque within four months; among other benefits.
- Revs up your digestive system You may notice positive changes like clearer skin and better digestion.
- Finally, if you suffer from constipation or have trouble– moving things along this is your natural go-to drink
