Ok ok ok…it’s just a typical turmeric latte, but it is true that the key ingredients – turmeric, ginger and cinnamon, are amazing natural anti-inflammatory agents and help to “put the fire out” in your body. They are also immune system allies!
Inflammation and immune system dysfunction, are early indicators of disease, so we want to flood our bodies with plant foods and plant medicine on the daily to keep on top of things. Prevention is the best cure; these foods can do a lot for you in a healing journey too.
I started making these 5ish years ago when I began my whole foods healing journey.
It is such a lovely warming drink on a cold day and the colour makes me happy too!
I go for organic when ever I am able to – organic spices are sooo fragrant, vibrant and delicious. Bulk food stores tend to have the freshest spices and herbs so long as they have a good turn over. I like to shop at GoodFor or Everyday Goodness in Nelson.
