One of the main active ingredients of turmeric is curcumin, a yellow pigment that gives the spice its characteristic color. Curcumin is a strong antioxidant, effective anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial, immunostimulating compound. Turmeric is rich in essential oils that have an antispasmodic and soothing effect on the stomach, intestines and liver.

The turmeric good for:

  • digestive and stomach complaints

  • dissolve gallstones

Ginger


I don't think ginger needs to be introduced to anyone. :)

Its antispasmodic, anti-nausea, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and antitussive effects almost do wonders for our body.

Ginger is a rich source of vitamins A, C, E and B-complex, and also contains a lot of magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, sodium, iron, zinc, calcium and beta-carotene.


The top 10 medicinal effects of ginger


1. It help fight with diabetes


2. Ginger has a positive effect on the body and quickly relieves the symptoms of an upset stomach. And if you feel heartburn, drink ginger tea.


3.Improves heart health

Ginger has long been used as a heart tonic. It lowers cholesterol levels and prevents blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of vascular heart diseases. Since it contains a lot of potassium, ginger has a very good effect on the heart, and the manganese in it also protects the heart, blood vessels and urinary tract.


4. Helps prevent colds and flu

Ginger boosts the immune system and is also used as a natural medicine to treat colds and flu due to its warming and diaphoretic effect.


5. Effective against cancer

Ginger may also be useful in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Research at the University of Michigan Cancer Center has shown that ground ginger induces cell death in ovarian cancer cells. In another experiment, it was observed that ginger slows down the growth of rectal cancer cells, so it helps to slow down the process of rectal cancer and prevent it. The plant also effectively fights the "wild" cells of several other types of cancer, such as lung, breast, skin, prostate and pancreatic cancer.


6. Relieves menstrual pain

Since ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, it can also be used to relieve menstrual cramps.


8. Soothes the pain caused by arthritis

Ginger has strong anti-inflammatory properties, so it is also excellent for treating pain caused by arthritis, rheumatism, or degenerative arthritis of the knee. Apply warm ginger cream and turmeric to the affected area twice a day to relieve pain. At the same time, incorporate raw or cooked ginger into our diet. In addition, ginger essential oil can also be added to the bath water to relieve joint and muscle pain.


9. Relieves migraines

It is a proven fact that ginger can relieve migraine pain because it prevents prostaglandins from causing pain and inflammation in blood vessels. In case of a migraine headache, dilute approx. half a teaspoon of ground ginger and smear it on the forehead, or take a third of a teaspoon of ginger orally! Since ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect, you can also drink ginger tea for migraines to relieve excruciating pain and dizziness or nausea.


...and finally, 10. Ginger also has a calming effect on our mind.


GINGER KURKUMA ENERGY DRINK RECIPE


This is one of my favorite breakfast or daytime drink recipes that I tend to make very often. Since then, I've tweaked the recipe, sometimes adding mint leaves, sometimes salt, and occasionally flower pollen.


The basic recipe


All you have to do is chop the roots into small pieces after peeling them. The ratio of ginger to turmeric is up to you. I add approximately 1.5 grams of turmeric and 2 grams of ginger to one and a half liters of pure mineral water. I use 2 large spoons of honey and a lemon juice.

I put the chopped turmeric and ginger in a mug or jug, then pour hot water over them. I let it stand for a few minutes, then pour it over with cold water and then add the honey and lemon juice. Very important! Honey should not be put in hot water, because all its effects are taken out of it.


I usually let the mixture stand for a few hours, I think that's how the flavors come together, but of course you can also drink it right away.


Cheers!
