A Healthy Turmeric Tea Recipe

Turmeric tea is a nutritious and therapeutic beverage. This turmeric tea recipe is something I make for myself on a daily basis. This tea is something I have in the evenings or before going to bed. It not only refreshes me but also improves my mood.

Was it just me or did anyone else have a bit of a time this week? All I know is that I was definitely not all here, maybe not all there either. All in all, I was feeling mighty unsettled and so I turned to the herbs with a vengeance. I was looking for something that might ease my spinny mind, my knotted tum tum, and perhaps help me get my feet back onto the earth and into the here and now.What about a turmeric tea recipe?

Lots of people have their go-tos when feeling out of sorts. I have my teas. In keeping with the posts from earlier in the week, I got a little experimental adding a massive dollop of turmeric to my spice tea. It seemed to do the trick and given the amount of this sweet ambrosia I have been drinking all week, it is shocking that I haven’t turned completely yellow.

Turmeric tea recipe is a serious drink recipe , not for the faint of heart. It might just cure every last ache, pain, and whoa-is-me in your life (this might be an exaggeration a little but let me have it).

Why turmeric? How about these 15 reasons:

1. Natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties to keep the infection away from cuts and burns.
2. Natural liver detoxifier- is it possible that if we believe liver to be the seat of anger than turmeric can help release that anger? Hmmmm.
3. May prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by removing amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain.
4. Majorly powerful anti-inflammatory that works as well as many anti-inflammatory drugs but without the side effects.
5. Has shown promise in slowing the progression of multiple sclerosis in mice.
6. Natural pain killer. Yay more of this!
7. Helps manage weight, and aid in fat metabolism
8. A staple in Chinese medicine for helping lift mood in cases of depression
9. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it is a natural treatment for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
10. Studies have shown that turmeric can boosts the effects of chemo drug paclitaxel and reduces its side effects.
11. Accelerates wound healing and repairing of damaged skin
12. Can help internally and topically with psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.
13. Wowzers does it help soothe upset stomach
14. Helps to facilitate protein digestion
15. A natural preventative against flu viruses.

I might just be able to go on forever. See we nutritionists all have our faves. Fave supplements, fave foods, gave green drinks, fave herbs… Turmeric has recently been added to my top 5 list of fave herbs. What else is on there right now? Well ginger for sure, passion flower is a must, I’ll take some goldenseal, and likely a little shtickle of gingko- though I am definitely impartial to the culinary herbs.
