Since ancient times, Turmeric has been used for myriad purposes ranging from being a principal culinary spice, a component in religious ceremonies and of course one of the most versatile herbal healers. Widely used in ancient Indian and Chinese medicine for it’s anti-inflammatory and immunity boosting properties, Turmeric is slowly finding its way back as a modern-day natural elixir.
The main active ingredient in Turmeric is ‘Curcumin’, and the best-way to reap the long term health benefits of this golden spice is to consume it everyday in foods and beverages. However in spite of being so loaded with benefits, turmeric is not very effective when consumed directly because the bioavailability (the natural ability of the nutrient to get absorbed and used by the body. ) of curcumin is very low.
In order to increase its bioavailability for proper absorption and better results, Turmeric can be combined as below:
Add in a hint of pepper- Black pepper contains piperine that is known to increase bioavailability of curcumin by 2000% when administered in the right amount.
Combine it with Ginger- Gingerols present in ginger work in the same way as piperine in pepper. Turmeric with ginger gets absorbed much faster and it also ensures absorption of curcumin in intestines.
Pair it with a fat- Pairing turmeric with a fat (milk, avocado, nut butters) will result in it directly being absorbed into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver.
In the light of this, the most convenient ways to avail of the goodness of curcumin are to consume it in the form of turmeric milk or as spiced turmeric tea. Inspired by an ayurvedic recipe for balancing your senses, we’ve come up with a blend that contains ginger as well as black pepper, making it your go-to brew to sip all year through.
Let’s take a look at some of the health benefits that are known to be associated with daily consumption of Turmeric tea.
Mentioned above are only a few reasons why Turmeric tea is the perfect addition to your wellness routine. So sip a cup right before or after your meals or pair it with peanut chikki and rice puffs. Turmeric tea is best served hot and shared with others.
