It’s to no surprise to that turmeric has fast become a popular remedy for just about everything that ails you.

Traditionally, turmeric milk has been used for conditions such as colds, congestion, headaches, and sore throats due to tumeric’s anti-inflammtory and anti-oxidant properties.

What is more interesting is that Ayurveda [and other ancient systems of medicine] have used turmeric for health and wellness since for as long as historical records have existed.

– 1/2 tsp of dried turmeric Turmeric

– Helps Purify The Blood & Acts As An Antioxidant!!

Turmeric is one of the oldest, most important spices known to humankind.

Turmeric is bitter, astringent and pungent in taste, and has a heating quality.

Due to its heating quality, turmeric helps to balance Kapha and Vata doshas (mind-body types), and due to its bitter taste, it helps to balance the Pitta dosha, thus making it tri-doshic.
