When learning to cook, some of us were told the only use for turmeric in the kitchen was as a natural coloring agent. (Oh, the shame!)
But now we know better; this funky-looking root from the ginger family has a boatload of anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants that can help treat arthritis, colitis, cancer, Alzheimer’s, high cholesterol, acne, wounds, and more—and our friends in India have been using it for such things for thousands of years.
Basically, turmeric tea is a little miracle you can be drinking right now.
