The Health Benefits of Turmeric – The Spice of Life
While there is no such thing as a miracle spice that can cure you of life’s ailments, a lot of research has been conducted on the benefits of adding turmeric to your diet.
[mailerlite_form form_id=1]One of the most popular reasons for consuming turmeric as a supplement or part of a regular diet is the belief in its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and most chronic diseases are closely linked, and that antioxidant properties of curcumin [turmeric] can play a key role in the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammation diseases. – Molecules (May 2015)

If you’d like to add a bit more zing to your mug, try adding ginger root and honey! This is my favorite recipe to use during cold and flu season. The ginger soothes indigestion and upset stomach.
Remember your mom giving you ginger ale when you weren’t feeling well? That’s why! Honey coats the throat from irritation and soothes soreness you may be experiencing if you’ve been coughing.
Make a paste as instructed above. Again, leave out 1 tsp. of paste for each serving of tea you plan to prepare.
- In a medium-sized pot, whisk together 2 cups of coconut milk and 1 tiny piece of ginger root (or a pinch of ginger powder) for every 1 teaspoon of paste.
- Slowly warm mixture over medium/low heat. Do not boil! Continue heating until you start to see steam rising from the pot.
- Remove from heat. If you used ginger root, you may wish to strain.
- Slowly stir in 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 pinch of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of honey per serving.
I just harvested turmeric from my garden. Can I use fresh turmeric in this recipe or do I need to dry it first? How much would I use and how would the process change if I used fresh turmeric. Thank you for your post!
We’ve never used fresh in this recipe, so we really can’t offer any tips. However, if you try it, we’d love to know how it turns out!
