We all know the feeling of over-indulging. And some of us struggle with digestive sluggishness, no matter what we eat. Rather than taking antacids (which only slow digestion further) or resorting to other over-the-counter solutions, you can naturally boost daily digestion with CCF—a blend of cumin, coriander and fennel traditionally used in Ayurvedic healing. Beauty Water author Tori Holmes says, "I make this recipe once a week and take one shot a day to keep my digestion optimal."
