Using Turmeric as a Natural Anti-Inflammatory

The health benefits of turmeric are impressive

We love plant-based whole foods with natural anti-inflammatory properties, and turmeric is one of them. The curcumin found within turmeric is what gives the spice its ability to target inflammation in the body.

Because curcumin has been promoted as a natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotector, the health benefits of turmeric (curcumin’s source food) add up to be quite impressive.

Turmeric’s natural anti-inflammatory properties target a range of health conditions

Turmeric is often referred to as the ‘golden spice’, widely used in traditional Indian and Chinese Medicine. and Chinese medicine. The illnesses and ailments it has been known to improve include:

  • Arthritis
  • Heartburn
  • Joint pain
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Kidney problems
  • Alzheimer’s

Because turmeric targets and positively impacts so many chronic health conditions, it makes for the perfect ingredient to incorporate into your daily meal plan.

Tasty ways to consume turmeric

Natural supplement

Taking a daily dose of turmeric is easy with a natural, plant-based whole food supplement.

Our Turmeric Blend contains turmeric and 12 other plant-based whole foods that work together to reduce inflammation and alleviate the pain caused by it.

Sourced from the Indian region of Kerala, we use Alleppey turmeric. It contains high levels of curcumin which help to boost the power of our Turmeric Blend in your body as it fights against inflammation.

Drinks

One of the most popular ways to drink turmeric is in a tea blend. There are many variations as to how people make it.

We recommend you start by grating up some fresh turmeric – about a teaspoon will do. If you don’t have any fresh turmeric, you can also use powdered or dried turmeric.

Simmer the turmeric in 2-4 cups of boiling water (the volume will vary depending on your preferred strength) for about 10 minutes. Strain if necessary, add honey, lemon, cinnamon or ginger for some extra flavour, and enjoy!

Meals

Turmeric is an easy spice to get creative with, and you’d be surprised at how many meals you can add it to. From smoothies and soup to salads and curry, the options are endless.
