Turmeric tea

A blooming plant called turmeric has an edible root or rhizome, that is frequently dried and turned into a spice. Additionally, the root can be peeled and chopped. The primary component in turmeric is curcumin, a yellow substance with a long list of health advantages. By blocking some of the mechanisms that cause this illness, it lessens pain and inflammation. Studies on the benefits of turmeric and curcumin on chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, IBD, and heart disease have been conducted. Inflammation is the root cause of both muscular soreness following exercise and pain in arthritic joints.

In 6-day research, 1,500 mg of curcumin taken in split dosages three times a day significantly decreased pain and enhanced physical function compared to a placebo. The participants had osteoarthritis-related pain and inflammation. Following exercise, consuming 400 mg of curcumin decreased muscular discomfort and injury, according to a different trial involving 20 active males. However, it's uncertain if consuming turmeric tea would have the same impact because these trials utilized high quantities of pure curcumin. If you wish to try making turmeric tea, simmer 1 teaspoon of either powdered turmeric or grated, peeled turmeric root for about 10 minutes in a saucepan with 2 cups (475 ml) of water. After that, filter the solids and taste-adjust with lemon or honey.
