CCFT Detox Drink For Glowing, Flawless SkinSeptember 9, 2025 Written by GP Team
The traditional cumin–coriander–fennel-turmeric (CCFT) decoction is an Ayurvedic staple for stoking digestion and metabolic “agni,” which in turn leaves skin clearer and more radiant. The ginger and turmeric in this detox drink amplify the drink’s anti-inflammatory, circulation-enhancing, and antioxidant repertoire. Hydration-locking basil (sabja) seeds and a squeeze of vitamin-C-rich lemon finish the recipe, creating a daily ritual that tackles dullness, congestion, and uneven tone from multiple angles.
Ingredients Required
½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
½ tsp coriander seeds (dhaniya)
½ tsp fennel seeds (saunf)
1 tbsp basil (sabja) seeds, pre-soaked 10 min in ¼ cup water
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 thin slices fresh ginger (or ½ tsp grated)
¼ tsp turmeric powder or ½-inch fresh turmeric root, sliced
(All items are common pantry or produce-aisle staples in Indian households; quantities make one generous mug.)
Procedure
Toast spices for aroma:
Place cumin, coriander, and fennel in a small, dry saucepan; stir over low heat 30 seconds until fragrant.
Simmer the decoction:
Add 400 ml water plus ginger and turmeric.
Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat and simmer 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse fully.
Strain & assemble:
Remove from heat, strain into a heat-safe glass or mug. Stir in lemon juice and the swollen basil seeds (along with their gelled soaking water).
Instructions
Timing: Sip warm 20–30 minutes after meals to aid digestion, or mid-morning for a complexion pick-me-up.
Frequency: 1–2 cups daily for sustained benefits.
Flavor tweaks: Sweeten with ½ tsp raw honey once the liquid cools below 40 °C, or muddle a mint leaf for fresher notes.
Batching tip: Dry-roast and premix equal parts cumin, coriander, and fennel in a jar; each day use 1 ½ tsp of this blend to save prep time.
Storage: Brew fresh for best potency; never re-boil basil seeds.

Turmeric can stain fabrics and, in high doses, thin blood; those on anticoagulant therapy or during pregnancy should consult a healthcare professional before daily use. Likewise, ginger may interact mildly with blood-pressure or diabetes medications.

Simmer 1½ tsp of the spice mix with ginger, turmeric, and 400 ml water for 5 min.
