If you’ve ever been interested in the idea of replacing medicine with food, look no further than your spice cabinet. That ground turmeric that you use only in the occasional curry? It holds powers that will trump what’s in your medicine cabinet.
Turmeric is mostly known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This means that a few dashes of the spice will not only help with the inflammation that you can see, like swelling and rashes, but also with inflammation that takes place inside the body, like leaky gut syndrome.
Turmeric is also a natural painkiller, a metabolism booster, an antidepressant, and an immune system booster. It’ll help clear your skin and reduce the risk of cancer and certain types of diabetes.
So how do you find a way to add a little of this magic stuff into your diet on a daily basis? There are lots of great turmeric recipes, but let’s be honest – it’s easiest to sprinkle some into a drink for a fast and easy fix.
Since turmeric is like a bitter version of ginger root, a few dashes go great in smoothies or “golden milk” teas, which bank on the creamy qualities of thick coconut milk.
You can add it to your morning routine by making turmeric coffee, lattes, mochas and hot chocolates for energy boosts. Or you can take a calmer approach and infuse it with hot water, chicken stock, or bone broth for a healing nighttime beverage to sip before bed.
Get cozy with turmeric egg nog or fiery apple cider, or conjure the tropics with hand-pressed juices made with fresh fruits from the islands. However you choose to make it, you can rest assured that you’re healing your body from head to toe with the medicinal powers of the humble turmeric root.
