Honey, Turmeric, Ginger, and Pepper for the Cold

Turmeric, Honey, Ginger, and Black Pepper Bomb: Recipe for a Natural Remedy Against Cough and Cold

Honey, turmeric, and ginger are ingredients that individually already possess incredibly beneficial properties for the body. When combined, they can be used to prepare a concoction (called a "bomb" for its effectiveness!) to use as a natural antibiotic or as a tea suitable for autumn and winter, to combat seasonal ailments, flu, cold, and sore throat, a natural remedy to warm the body on colder days. Let's see how to prepare it together.

Properties of Honey, Turmeric, and Ginger

Consuming a combination of honey, turmeric, and ginger, in the form of tea or solid, especially during the winter months, can have an extremely beneficial effect on the body. Turmeric is indeed at the center of oriental medicine for its extraordinary properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer. Turmeric powder is a help to combat cough and sore throat, just like honey, which is often dissolved in hot drinks in case of colds and seasonal ailments to aid healing. The combination of these two ingredients is therefore a very effective combination, a natural remedy with antibiotic power: honey is an excellent antibacterial and a natural cough sedative, as well as anti-inflammatory, just like turmeric, which also aids digestion and liver problems.

The addition of ginger powder, also an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient, which fights colds and coughs, helping to clear nasal and respiratory passages, makes it a perfect match with the combination of honey and turmeric.

Combination of Black Pepper and Turmeric

When it comes to teas, infusions, or turmeric products, this spice is almost always used in combination with black pepper. But what's so special about consuming turmeric with black pepper? It should be known that the active ingredient of turmeric, curcumin, is difficult for the body to absorb, and piperine, a substance contained in pepper, helps to increase the bioavailability of this active ingredient, making it more easily absorbable.
