This week I was looking to turmeric to ease my knotted tummy, and help me get grounded back to earth. So, I decided to experiment a little and create a turmeric tea. It seemed to do the trick! I have been drinking it all week and I’m shocked that I haven’t turned completely yellow.

Here is a little info on this wonderful spice! Turmeric is an orange-colored spice imported from India and is part the ginger family. In addition, ayurvedic and Chinese medicines utilize turmeric to clear infections and inflammations on the inside and outside of the body. But beyond the holistic health community, Western medical practitioners have only recently come on board in recognizing the benefits of turmeric.

Benefits of Turmeric:

Blocking cancer
Powerful antioxidant
Potent anti-inflammatory
Osteoarthritis pain relief
Indigestion and heartburn aid
Heart disease
