Tumeric is one of my favourites! Next to ginger and thyme I use it a lot to lower cholesterol, but also as a preventative measure against cancer. It also helps me to fall asleep in combination with cinnamon, honey and a splash of boiling water every evening :)
Update: here's the recipe of the Sleepy Milky Golden Tea
1 ts of curcuma powder (or a thumbsize of fresh curcuma, peeled and shredded)
1 thumbsize of ginger, peeled and shredded
1 tbs of coconut oil
freshly ground black pepper
2 cups of coconut milk¹
1 ts of honey (optional)
½ ts of cinnamon (optional)
¹ you can use other sorts of milk if you prefer.
Add all the ingredients to a pot and heat the mixture for about 5 minutes. Happy days and sleepy nights!
In een pan, meng alle ingrediënten en verwarm het mengsel gedurende 5 minuten. Dat is alles!
Hey hatsikidee I didnt know about its sleep properties but yes it has antidepressant affects so that makes sense. :D Better than nutmeg with its toxic properties (high doses) :D
True, although nothing beats a little nutmeg added to your buttersoft potato/parsnip mash :)
