Turmeric Teas
Turmeric is a spice that has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is derived from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant and is a key ingredient in many Indian dishes, including curry.
The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in the body. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals called cytokines and by blocking the action of certain enzymes that contribute to inflammation. Pairing black pepper to turmeric helps to absorb in body better.
It's important to note that while turmeric is generally considered safe when consumed in small amounts as a spice, it can cause side effects when taken in large doses or as a supplement. It may interfere with blood clotting and can cause the stomach to be upset in some people. If you're considering using turmeric for its anti-inflammatory effects, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider first.
