Feel Better Fast: Immunity-Boosting Wellness Shots and Teas That Work

1. Introduction

I first tried wellness shots during a chilly winter when everyone around me seemed to be catching something. I was tired, run-down, and honestly just curious if these colorful little drinks did anything. After a week of taking a ginger-lemon shot every morning, I felt more energized and less sniffly. That small change kicked off my love for immunity-boosting wellness shots and teas — and now they’re a staple in my kitchen.

Whether you’re trying to ward off a cold or just feel your best, these shots and teas can give your body a helpful boost using simple, real ingredients.
