Share

Learn how to make this turmeric tea for pain relief. Check out the article we found over at Knowledge Weighs Nothing.

Turmeric is one of the world’s most revered spices. Its praises are sung from the rooftops by herbalists. Entire books have been writhed extolling its magnificent virtues. Revered in the orient for centuries if not millennia, it has even been called “the world’s most healing spice” and hundreds of scientific papers and other reports have been published attesting to its healing benefits for all manner of conditions including cancer, ulcers, arthritis, alzheimers, cystic fibrosis, hemorrhoids, arteriosclerosis, inflammation and liver diseases.

Making turmeric tea is nice and simple, and there are all sorts of variations and adaptations of the recipe, allowing you to customize it to suit your personal tastes. Whichever recipe you use (or even if you get creative and make up your own version), it’s important that you only use good quality turmeric powder, or alternatively, you can use grated fresh turmeric root for a stronger flavor.

***Please note that, despite its benefits, you shouldn’t drink tea made from turmeric, or take turmeric supplements whilst you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If in doubt please contact your doctor first.***

What Are The Benefits?

Turmeric and tea made from turmeric are renowned for the multiple health benefits it offers, particularly when it comes to inflammation and pain – helping to treat health issues such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. It can also help patients with cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and high cholesterol, to name but a few.

Turmeric can also help to prevent the blood from clotting and reduces the often-painful inflammation caused by wounds, acne, and various other skin conditions.

Anti-inflammatory

When it comes to pain relief, so many people across the globe call upon anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin, to relieve the symptoms of everything from headaches, backaches, and other muscular aches and pains. Whilst these medicines are really effective at relieving the pain and inflammation caused by a whole range of conditions, they can cause many adverse side effects, especially with long-term use.

In fact, the side effects of the long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs include, but are by no means limited to, nausea, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, hypertension (high blood pressure), increased risk of heart attack, increased risk of kidney cancer, and erectile dysfunction.

But the truth is, natural home remedies such as turmeric can often deliver the same effects as these medications, without many of the potential side effects.

Reduces Cholesterol Levels

It’s highly likely that, at some point in your lifetime, you will suffer from high cholesterol, especially as you grow older. However, research has proven that, by regularly using turmeric as a food seasoning, it can significantly decrease cholesterol levels. Maintaining a healthy cholesterol level is paramount, as it is a well known fact that high cholesterol notoriously leads to a whole host of serious health problems such heart disease and stroke.

Immunity Booster

Also known as lipopolysaccharide, turmeric can help to stimulate and strengthen your body’s immune system. This is because it is full of antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal agents that work together to fight against colds, flu and coughs, ensuring that your immune system is strong.

However, if you do find yourself suffering from cold or flu like symptoms, simply mix one teaspoon of turmeric powder into a glass of warm milk, and drink daily until you feel better.

  4. Paulette Badger, years ago when i learn about the benefits of Turmeric I started buying the tablets at a health store, but they are expensive! Same at Amazon or any other place. finaly I found a 16 ounce jar of 100% turmeric powder for $3.99 at an Asian Supermarket. Don’t give your money away. There are many ways to get the real stuff for less. I buy the empty tablets at a health store an while watching TV I do fill out my turmeric tablets and store them in a glass jar. I hope to helped someone.

    Not sure if I would tolerate drinking turmeric tea and it might stain your teeth but I do know the use of tumeric spice in your favorite meat helps to ease a broken bone pain with better pain relief than common anti-inflammatory drugs….without causing nephrotoxicity
