When you are feeling under the weather, brewing up some turmeric tea using ground turmeric powder is very soothing and comforting for your throat and stomach.
Sometimes you can find turmeric already in tea bags.
Popular in Ayurvedic Medicine in India
The use of turmeric goes back centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and has recently begun to be recognized as beneficial to boosting immune health in the United States as well.
Home remedies have always been popular and these are a few home remedies that may actually be beneficial.
This bright yellow turmeric contains many nutrients and is an anti-inflammatory powerhouse. Using turmeric in a tea may be very helpful.
Of course turmeric is very popular in Indian cooking. It is often paired with black pepper for optimal absorption. You could add a little black pepper to your tea if you are able to tolerate it.
Tastes Good
I was surprised how good this bright yellow tea tasted. There are many variations of how to make the tea. I used turmeric powder as my base.
Sea Salt + Turmeric–
I was surprised that this one was my favorite. It actually tasted like a vegetable broth more than tea. I was able to whip it up quickly with very little effort.
Turmeric, Honey, Lemon-
This one tasted more like tea. The lemon provides lots of vitamin C and the honey has antibacterial benefits that feels soothing for sore throats and or coughs.
Turmeric, Honey, Ginger-
This tea is similar to the previous tea above but uses fresh ginger. Ginger is loaded with antioxidants to help boost immunity and good for soothing the stomach.
***One caution:
Turmeric stains. Do not get it on your clothing, counter tops, etc.
