Whenever my thought starts to feel itchy, this is my secret remedy. This a delicious, healing easy to make remedy. It can be made anytime.
Turmeric is a spice that works on the digestive, hepatic, immune, musculoskeletal and circulatory systems. It has a bitter, astringent and pungent taste and a wide variety of traditional uses (anaemia, blood purifier, blood tissue formation, jaundice, hepatitis, circulation, inflammatory bowel disease, haemorrhoids, water retention, indigestion, gas, clearing mucous, protein digestion, urinary infections, fever, bruising, acne, and as a natural antibiotic and general anti-inflammatory agent among many others).
Its antimicrobial properties make it particularly useful for treating the common cold, whilst anti-inflammatory compounds may help relieve inflammation and airways congestion in those with a chronic cough.
Honey is a natural sweetener, better than sugar. It is rich in antioxidants, can help improve cholesterol, promotes burn and wound healing. Honey soothes the sore throat, and it’s an effective cough suppressant, too. In a study, children age two and older with upper respiratory tract infections were given up to 2 teaspoons (10 millilitres) of honey at bedtime.
In Ayurvedic medicine, a popular way to prepare it is as a milk decoction, gently heating milk with turmeric and other spices to make a warming and healing drink.
Ingredients 1:
