Two ways with tumeric that don’t involve curry
You know when you hear of something new and then it’s everywhere?
I went to a yellow party. Most people wore fluffy yellow wigs + rugby shirts. My friend rubbed herself with fresh tumeric root and glowed all evening.
Next a runaway monk handed me this. 
You can check out his beautiful new website here. But first read on.
Today I find fresh tumeric root in my local health food store.
I may be late to this party but tumeric is gaining cred as an effective medicinal herb.
It’s primary active ingredient curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Heart, mood, cellular health, brain, inflammatory processes have all been found to benefit from tumeric extract.
I’m not one for supplements but if I was suffering from arthritis or the like I’d be looking for professional guidance on how to take it.
In the meantime. Try a cup of soothing tumeric tea before bed or a shot of radiant tumeric juice in the morning.
Tumeric Tea
In a small pot add:
1 cup almond or coconut milk
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
2 peppercorns
1/4 tsp ground cardomon
1/4 inch cinnamon stick
Sweeten with honey or maple syrup Warm for 3-5 minutes. strain. Sip slowly.
Tumeric Juice
You can throw a couple of roots into your morning juice. Or boil for about 20 minutes and blend with cooking water, a tsp of tamarind puree, juice of 1 lemon and/or orange and sweeten with maple syrup. Adding black pepper to your tumeric drinking enhances its absorption.
