\"Turmeric<\/p>\n

Turmeric is the main spice in curry and the tea made from turmeric root is referred to by some as “liquid gold” due to its many healing properties. Turmeric is a member of the ginger family and in its raw form is a knobby orange root from India – its health benefits are derived largely from the renowned healing compound curcumin.<\/p>\n

Turmeric tea is highly anti-inflammatory and a popular beverage in Asia where TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) is practiced alongside Western medicine. “It\u00a0is arguably the most powerful herb on the planet at fighting and reversing disease. It has so many healing properties that currently there have been\u00a06,235 peer-reviewed articles<\/a>\u00a0published proving the benefits of turmeric.” {Source: Dr. Josh Axe<\/a>}<\/p>\n

I’m always up for integrating any antioxidant-rich natural compound that can aid detoxification and potentially help prevent disease which is why I drink matcha lattes and green tea on a regular basis – made at home with high quality organic matcha and the green leaf tea from China, not Starbucks. All those antioxidants can only do a body good!<\/p>\n

Now I’ve added turmeric tea to my in-house healing elixirs. Easy as 1, 2, 3 to make, I’m sharing the recipe here so you can fight colds and flu like a ninja warrior! It will also help heal your body from a number of inflammatory health conditions. Coconut-almond milk from Almond Breeze makes for a satisfying, creamy tea with a touch of sweetness from honey.<\/p>\n
