Turmeric, also called the "Golden Spice", has been used for centuries for medical issues. The active substance in turmeric is curcumin. This amazing spice has been used for treating arthritis, coughs, purifying the blood, treating allergies and so much more. My personal experience with turmeric has only been positive, it has helped with my sharp knee pain and debilitating inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory properties have left me in awe! I constantly use it for culinary uses, such as in chili, rice, soups, and even ice cream. This tea also helps if you're trying to wean off of coffee!
One of my favorite recipes currently would be Golden Milk. It has a wonderful earthy, spicy and sweet taste. Move over hot chocolate, you've just been replaced. Adjust spices and sweetness to your liking but the spicier the better for you!
