Nature is brilliant. Such a diverse and impressive Farmacy. Roots, herbs, medicine foods, essences….
I work with Turmeric/Curcumin on a daily basis and it’s one of the widest used roots amongst my clients right now. The effects are palpable. Infinite benefits (kind of how I feel about Coconut Oil and Lemon).
Curcumin, the main active ingredient in turmeric, has VERY STRONG anti-inflammatory effects and is a powerful antioxidant. The benefits of Turmeric have been known to surpass anti-inflammatories, anti-depressants, chemo, pain killers, arthritis meds, IBS meds and so much more.
Turmeric is a true wonder root. So grateful for these little rhizome nobules of awesome.
TURMERIC GOLDEN MYLK RECIPE
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 cup almond or hemp milk
- ½ cup filtered water
- 2-3 black peppercorns
- tsp honey
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- plop of ginger
Warm milk and water over low heat and stir in the turmeric powder. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. This will reduce the milk to one cup. Turn off the heat and add crushed black pepper. Adding black pepper to the brew will make the Turmeric more bio available. Drink the milk hot or warm. Add a drop of honey and sprinkle with cinnamon for some extra mojo.
