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 at the center of Eastern medicine for its extraordinary properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Turmeric powder is a help to combat coughs and sore throats, just like honey, which is often dissolved in hot drinks in case of colds and seasonal illnesses to contribute to 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 natural sedative for coughs, as well as an anti-inflammatory, just like turmeric, which also helps digestion and liver problems.

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

Combination of Black Pepper and Turmeric

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