    Ginger Turmeric Healing Detox Tea

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on June 5, 2007 Beverages

    I’m guessing that most of you aren’t strangers to digestive or inflammation issues. Many people go dairy free or begin cutting back on dairy because they are experiencing one or more symptoms in these categories. Diet transitions have helped many, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t slip ups, or that our systems still overreact sometimes. Which is why I like to have some good naturally healing options like this ginger turmeric tea.

    Healing Ginger Turmeric Tea Recipe

    Turmeric, the golden spice of India, was often referred to as a “poor man’s saffron” in the West. This was no longer the case. In the East, particularly India, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years for health, cooking and dyeing, it has always been highly valued.

    Turmeric is a member of the ginger family. The main bio-active compound in turmeric is curcumin. Ancient Ayurvedic and Chinese medical practitioners recognized recognized the healing powers of turmeric and now modern researchers have confirmed this stating that curcumin in turmeric has the power to block inflammation, kill infectious microbes, stop cancer, improve heart health and alleviate skin problems. Studies are also being done on it’s protection against Alzheimer’s Disease.

    Turmeric is an excellent source of manganese and iron, and a good source of potassium, dietary fiber and vitamin B6.

    An excellent fabric dye, turmeric needs no fixative, so protect your clothing when using it. For a simply dyeing method visit the Lemelson Center website. Depending on which variety you purchase the cloth can be dyed in a colors ranging from bright yellow to a deep orange.

    after purchasing, to maintain the flavor and aroma of turmeric, store the powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place. It has a bitter, peppery taste and a gingery orange perfume.

    It is a main ingredient in curry powders and used to color and flavor pickles, mustard, chutneys and other foodstuffs. Turmeric has a strong flavor which increases with cooking so a little goes a long way. Try it in bean, rice and cereal dishes. It is excellent for digestion system and liver and stops bloating and gas, so well worth adding to many of your dishes.
