Turmeric is fascinating and a popular anti-inflammatory spice that has been used for centuries for itshealth benefits.
It’s often used to give an intense golden hue and zest to smoothies, soups, and curries.
One of the most exciting things about traveling as a holistic nutritionist is finding new recipes and health rituals.
So I started drinking the turmeric tonic every day.
Here’s what happened:
1.
My face flare-ups diminished.
In my mid-20s, I was diagnosed withlupus.
A metaphorical butterfly will then spread its wings on my cheeks.
Ever since I started drinking the turmeric tonic daily, my facial flare-ups have diminished to almost zero.
Turmeric is animmune booster1because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
There’s even research that indicates that curcuminreduces the developmentofcancer tumors5and might lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Sipping on all of those turmeric tonics also strongly benefited my digestion.
It helped relieve bloating, belly aches, and stomach cramps.
Researchers have also tested the effect ofturmeric on digestion6.
Others even suggest using curcumin as prevention and treatment of obesity-related andmetabolic diseases8.
I especially like turmeric tonic with persimmon, one of my favorite fall fruits.
you might also leave out the persimmon or replace it with a grapefruit, orange, or mandarin.
I like to mix it up every day.
