This mixture is a great remedy for numerous ailments. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant with many health benefits and uses; it helps to reduce inflammation, aids in digestion and may help to relieve heartburn. I use it to keep my immune system strong and digestive system active!
But, I particularly like it for the anti-inflammatory effect of turmeric and ginger that helps to ease the aches and pain associated with arthritis and other auto-immune diseases.
Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp Turmeric (I used fresh)
1 tsp Ginger (I used fresh)
3/4 tsp Cinnamon
4 cups Almond or coconut milk (increases the bio-availability)
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Combine and heat until warm (NOT hot), about 5 minutes. I used the “soup” setting on my Blendtec blender.
If you feel the need, you can sweeten with agave or maple syrup.
