Suffering from joint or muscle pain? This natural tea is the ultimate painkiller!
|
For many of us, painkillers come in the form of over the counter medications such as Advil, Paracetamol, and more.
We take these medications when we experience headaches, joint pain, muscle aches, toothaches, etc. And while these medications usually help, they are never a long-term solution. They only relieve the pain temporarily.
Taking ibuprofen-based medications can come with long-term side effects. These include, but are not limited to, hypertension, gastrointestinal bleeding, increased risk of heart attack, and kidney cancer.
Fortunately, there are wonderful natural alternatives to ibuprofen. And one of them is Turmeric.
There's not a single person who is unfamiliar with this yellowish spice. It is used in meals and spreads. And it is also known and famous for its wonderful healing properties. Turmeric contains an ingredient called Curcumin that has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation.
In Asian and Indian culture, turmeric tea was often used as a remedy for joint pain and relaxation. And many of us can get these benefits from drinking turmeric tea even today.
Ingredients:
- 4 glasses of water
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh turmeric root, or 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- Lemon and/or honey by taste
Preparation:
- Boil the water in a pot
- Once the water is boiling, add the turmeric. If you use turmeric powder, let the water continue to boil for another 15-20 minutes

That's all, now you have a delicious and healthy turmeric tea that will make you feel wonderful.
