Healing Turmeric Tea Recipe
Turmeric Tea

From ancient times turmeric or haldi has been used for healing many diseases. In Ayurveda turmeric is believed to balance tridosha (i.e Vata dosha, Pitta dosha, and Kapha dosha), the three energies that govern the function of our body and mind. It is often called ‘mother of all healing’ in Ayurveda.

Turmeric is frequently used to add flavor and color to the food as well as cosmetics and medicines.

Turmeric makes an incredibly healing and delicious drink when combined with ginger, cinnamon, lemon juice, and honey.

The turmeric I have used here is fresh from my garden. This fresh turmeric root tea recipe always comes to my rescue, whenever I get hit with a terrible cold. I also love to sip this drink during the cooler months. As it works as a preventive and tastes divine.

The high antioxidant and antibacterial properties of turmeric when combined with the goodness of ginger roots, black pepper, and lime juice assist in reducing the cold and flu symptoms, help to combat infection, clear congestion, bring down inflammation, boost the immune system, relieve sore throat and enhance digestion.
