Turmeric is an enjoyable spice. Not only does it give our favorite curries a bright color and an earthy flavor, but it also offers some anti-inflammatory benefits inside and outside.
Ginger and Turmeric offer Benefits for the Skin
Gingerols, the natural goodness of ginger root extract is a powerful combination for skin health. This antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powerhouse can help protect your skin from free radicals that cause aging as well promoting an even tone to existing hyperpigmentation or marks due to injury - all while providing an improved elasticity leaving you with healthier looking complexion.
How to Make Turmeric Tea
Start with one tablespoon of Bee Inspired’s loose-leaf Beautea; by doing this, you can skip the fresh ginger and fresh Turmeric in the next step.
Cut a few lemon slices and place them in a mug. If you do not have BEAUTEA (from step one), add fresh-cut Turmeric and ginger to the mug.
Add boiling hot water.
Allow your tea to steep for 5 minutes, then add your favorite Eastern Shore Honey and serve.
Curcumin, a chemical compound found in the turmeric plant, may help reduce swelling and irritations in the body. It also offers quite a few excellent benefits when used on the Skin. Research is ongoing about the uses and benefits of Turmeric, so in the meantime, we’ll enjoy this ginger and turmeric tea when we’re cold in the winter!
