Turmeric Tea Ritual
/
Turmeric Tea has become one of my favorite night time rituals. I recently went on an anti inflammation diet. One of the first phases included a limited set of approved ingredients which included Turmeric something I had not previously used. Doing a little research, I found this tea recipe which I adore. It is especially good in the evenings as it is caffeine free & offers a little sweetness thanks to the addition of ginger & honey. The combination of these ingredients is tasty, soothing & help fight inflammation making it a great cold buster or pick me up. The beautiful golden color is enough to make anyone feel better.

Turmeric may be one of the last buzz words flying around the wellness space, but it has been utilized for centuries around the world. Prized for its potent levels of curcumin, Tumeric has been studied extensively for its health benefits & healing properties, here are just a few.
1. Anti-Inflammatory and Pain Killer
Some studies have pitted Curcumin against popular over the counter painkillers and found it to be more effective citing this miracle chemical as as among the most potent anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative agents in the world. Turmeric not only has great promise with chronic pain, and is all natural with hopefully fewer side effects.
2. Arthritis
There has been promising results that the antinflammatory properties of Tumerics would reduce markers contributing toward advance arthritis.
3. Anti-Depressant
When compared to perscripton medications like Prozac, curcumin was found to be as effectives. With pill popping becoming increasingly pervasive in society, a natural redemdy for mental health could be a simple as a cup of tea? I hope!
4. Diabetes
Turmeric is shown to lower blood glucose levels and reverse insulin resistance, a great way to fight this deadly epidemic.
5. Cancer
Recent results show turmeric as a powerful adversary to cancer. Curcumin has the ability to inhibit cancer cell growth, boost antioxidant levels and the immune system, and kill cancer cells.
6. Skin & Aging
Turmeric’s healing properties make it perfect for skin. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory so it reduces redness & other common skin irritations. It’s antibacterial, so it’s great for blemishes, acne and skin balance. Turmeric is wonderful at improving the texture of the skin because it is an exfoliant but also rich in antioxidants. It’s a wonderful natural treatment inside and out!
7. Brain Health & Memory
By taking turmeric, you can improve the oxygen intake of the brain, which helps in all of the brain’s functions and processes. Turmeric is extremely healing for the brain and for increasing memory function.
