Turmeric is nothing short of a superfood for optimal health. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s a powder that comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, which is part of the ginger family. The powder is golden in color and tastes somewhat peppery, bitter and warm. A compound in turmeric – called curcumin – is a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps the body fight infections. If your immune system needs a boost, turmeric to the rescue!

Honey is more than just a sweet add-on to your tea or toast. It’s incredibly medicinal and can be used for relief from a variety of ailments, including a sore throat, cough, sinus pressure and colds. Remember that not all honey is created equal. When buying, you’ll want to make sure to stick to raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized, organic honey. If you can buy it locally from a farmer’s market, that’s even better. It will be the best quality honey you can buy to reap all of the health benefits from the most natural ingredients possible.
