Since ages past, Turmeric has been used for myriad purposes, ranging from being a culinary spice, an important component in our religious ceremonies, and of course, one of the most versatile natural healers. Widely used in ancient Indian and Chinese medicine for its anti-inflammatory and immunity boosting properties, Turmeric is now finding its way as a modern-day natural panacea.
The main active ingredient in Turmeric is ‘Curcumin’, and the best-way to reap its long-term health benefits is to consume it every day in foods and beverages. However, in spite of being so loaded with benefits, Turmeric is not very effective when consumed directly because the bioavailability (the natural ability of the nutrient to get absorbed and used by the body.) of curcumin is very low. In light of this, one of the most convenient ways to benefit from the goodness of curcumin are to consume it in the form of Turmeric tea. Inspired to incorporate healthy living into our lives, we’ve come up with a blend of Green Tea that contains Cinnamon as well as Turmeric, maximizing its health benefits and making it your go-to brew to sip all year through. Let’s take a look at some of the health benefits that are known to be associated with daily consumption of our Turmeric Cinnamon Green Tea.
