How Turmeric Tea Changed My Health (and Why I’ll Never Skip It Again)

 

As a mom, we are always multitasking, family, house, work, and in between, we have to go to the bathroom. I have been neglecting my personal health for a very long time. I always felt fatigued, bloated and caffeinated. However, one very plain thing, like turmeric tea, changed everything to me.

I know, it sounds too good to be true. How can one warm cup of yellow tea make such a difference? But this little daily habit turned into a powerful act of self-care that boosted my energy, improved my digestion, and helped me reconnect with my body again — naturally and gently.

Let’s talk about how turmeric tea worked its magic, why it’s so powerful, and how you can easily add it into your mom life.

What Is Turmeric Tea?

The drink is prepared using the root of turmeric which is a spice that is bright yellow in color, has a long tradition of use in ancient medicine particularly in the cultures of South Asia and the Middle East. All the magic is in the active constituent of turmeric, curcumin.

Curcumin is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-boosting and has helped the body to recover internally.

Whenever you drink turmeric tea you are not only drinking a nice cup of tea you are also giving your body a kind of a detoxing agent, you are assisting your body to combat stress and you are also helping your body to stay healthy.

My Health Personal Statement Before Learning About Turmeric Tea

I must be frank, and I used to feel drained all the time before the introduction of turmeric tea in my life.

I still used to wake up after a complete night sleep and still felt that I had not slept. I felt bad because my digestion was bad, my skin was dim and I was in a funk.

I would reach out to coffee after coffee because I hoped that it will make me feel normal again. But nothing it had done but made me jittery and smash later.

This is when I began to find natural sources of energy and cure of inflammation - and turmeric was present everywhere. So I decided to try it.

What Happened When I Began to Take Turmeric Tea

I was sincerely not looking forward to a lot when I first started. I have simply switched one cup of coffee with a cup of warm turmeric tea every morning.

Within a week, I saw some positive changes:

• I was not so bloated after meals.

• My energy was constant, not high and low as before.

• I also did not feel so sore or stiff after my exercises or long days with the kids.

A month later the disparity could not be disputed. My skin was lighter, my stomach was lighter and my mood was more balanced. I felt balanced.

It was not a fast solution, it was a slow internal-out change.

How to Make Turmeric Tea at Home

You need not have fancy ingredients or supplements to begin with but you need your kitchen basics.

Simple Turmeric Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup hot water or milk (I use almond milk)

• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric (or fresh grated root) powder

• Black pepper, pinch (this increases the absorption of curcumin)

• 1/2 teaspoon of honey or date syrup (then add this in case it is sweet)

• A little cinnamon or ginger (optional, to add flavor)

Directions:

1. Heat milk or water until warm.

2. Add turmeric, black pepper and spices of your choice.

Begin with a cup a day, in case you are new. With time, you will get to know when your body is in love with it.
