In this short video, functional‑medicine practitioner Dr. Preeti demonstrates how to prepare an alkaline morning beverage using cucumber, fresh coriander, ginger, and water. She cuts the cucumber, adds a generous amount of coriander (noting its detoxifying properties and a 4‑day coriander detox protocol she uses with patients), and includes ginger for flavor. The mixture is blended, then sieved (or pressed with a spoon) to retain all nutrients. Optional seasonings such as cayenne pepper, various salts, or black salt can be added for taste. To increase alkalinity and flavor, she finishes the drink with lime juice from a lemon. Dr. Preeti emphasizes that while she does not advocate excessive juicing, a single daily alkaline drink can support detoxification, improve skin clarity, and promote healthy hair, making it a beneficial addition to a morning routine.

Welcome to our channel Food, Medicine and Life, and I'm your host, Dr. Preeti, your functional medicine expert. And today I'm going to make cucumber, coriander, ginger drink or juice, whatever you might want to call it, and start my day with this alkaline drink. So I've taken one cucumber, cut into small pieces. I've taken enough coriander, if you see, because I really want this not only to be flavored with coriander but also to get the benefits of coriander. You know, coriander helps us in detox. There is a special 4-day regime of detoxing with coriander, right, which a lot of my patients do with me. I'm not adding lemon to this, but I will add water because this is my drink. Yes, I'm not adding salt, pepper, but if you want, you can add spices. You can also add cayenne pepper if you have that. Flakes or spices, just blend it. So now when I've blended all of what I wanted to have in my morning drink, I'm going to sieve it. Yes, and you can also use a spoon to press it so that, you know, yes, the whole drink, you can enjoy all the nutrition in the juice. Yes, you can press it with a spoon. Now my morning drink is ready. And what am I going to make it even more alkaline? Though of course everything what I've used is made it alkaline, but even to make it more alkaline and also more tasty, delicious, I know you've guessed it right. I'm going to add lime juice of 1 lemon because that will make it more tasty. So you can add any spices, salt, black salt, sea salt, pink salt, whatever you want to add depending on your taste. Right, and I've pressed it properly so Yeah, the whole nutrition is now there in the juice. Of course, I don't promote lot of juicing, but I've seen early morning, if we add an alkaline juice to our routine, it really helps us detoxify, feel good, and also have a bright skin and good hair. So why not juice once a day? To get all these benefits. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to add this lemon. Yes! And I am ready to pour my juice and have it early morning.
