Turmeric has been used since ancient times for many purposes, including as a main culinary spice, part of religious ceremonies, and as a versatile herbal healer. Turmeric, which was widely used in ancient Indian medicine and Chinese medicine due to its anti-inflammatory properties and immune-boosting properties, is slowly making its way back into modern-day use as a natural elixir.

Turmeric’s main ingredient is ‘Curcumin.’ This spice can be found in many foods and drinks, but it is best to use it daily to reap its long-term health benefits. Although Turmeric has many health benefits, it is ineffective when taken directly. This is due to its bioavailability (the body’s natural ability to absorb and use nutrients). Curcumin’s bioavailability is extremely low.

Turmeric can be combined with the following to improve its bioavailability and ensure better absorption.

Use a little bit of pepper. Black pepper has piperine, which is known to increase curcumin’s bioavailability by 2000% if taken correctly.

Mix it with Ginger Gingerols in ginger work the same as piperine in pepper. Combining Turmeric with ginger increases the absorption rate and ensures that curcumin is absorbed in the intestines.

Combine it with butter. Using Turmeric in combination with fat (milk or avocado, nut jars of butter, etc.) will cause it to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream and bypass the liver.

This makes it easy to get the benefits of curcumin in turmeric milk or spiced turmeric tea. We’ve created a blend inspired by an Ayurvedic recipe to balance your senses. It contains ginger and black pepper making it the perfect brew for all seasons.

Let’s look at the health benefits associated with Turmeric Tea.

Anti-inflammatory- As mentioned previously, Turmeric is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is often used to treat osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Turmeric reduces inflammation and stiffness in the joints.

Excellent for your skin due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, Turmeric has been proven to be a perfect treatment for many skin conditions, including acne, photoaging, and pimples.

Immunity booster- Curcumin has been shown to increase immune function. The combination of Turmeric and Ginger creates a soothing and healing brew.

Known to improve heart health. Curcumin, a powerful antioxidant, inhibits LDL Cholesterol oxidation. This prevents cholesterol from accumulating in the blood vessels. Curcumin is known to regulate blood pressure and blood clotting. It also helps maintain proper cardiac function.

Curcumin has been proven to help with digestion. Numerous studies have shown that curcumin can reduce IBS symptoms and improve quality of life. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and liver-function improving properties are known to alleviate stomach pain.

These are just a few of the many reasons Turmeric tea is a great addition to your health and wellness routine. You can enjoy a cup of Turmeric tea before or after meals, or with rice puffs and peanut chikki. Turmeric tea should be enjoyed hot, and it is best shared with others.
