Cooking features

To get the most benefits and make drinking enjoyable, you need to use clean water . This can be almost any type of drinking water:

Tap water is not suitable for the recipe, as it may contain harmful impurities (chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria). It must be cleaned before use. As a last resort - settling and boiling.

Mineral water can also be used as a solvent if it is not contraindicated for human health.

To do this, it is advisable to first free it from gases. Water is poured into an open container and stirred periodically until all gases are released.

Important! The amount of mineral water used for treatment should not exceed three glasses per day.

Basic Recipes

There are several practice-tested recipes. The main difference lies in the selection of the composition.

The classic cooking method involves only two ingredients: water and turmeric. Other recipes involve the use of additional useful ingredients.

Classic recipe

The taste of water with turmeric prepared in this way is spicy with a very slight bitterness.

The step-by-step recipe looks like this:

1. Water in a volume of 200-250 ml is heated to a temperature of 40-50 degrees.
2. Pour 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric into a glass.
3. Stir the powder until the lumps are completely dissolved.

With pepper

If you add ground pepper to the classic recipe, the water with turmeric acquires a more pungent, burning taste. It stimulates digestion and accelerates blood circulation through the vessels . Black, white pepper or a mixture of different peppers are suitable for the recipe.

Cooking involves several manipulations:

1. Water (1 glass) is heated to 40-50 degrees.
2. Add 0.5 small spoon of ground turmeric.
3. Stir until uniform yellow.
4. Add a pinch of pepper powder.
5. Stir the contents of the glass.

With honey

This recipe is slightly different in preparation from the previous two. This method ensures faster dissolution of turmeric lumps.

Healing water is prepared as follows:

1. One tablespoon of honey is combined with half a teaspoon of turmeric.
2. Stir the mixture until a homogeneous paste forms.
3. A glass of clean water is heated to 40 degrees.
4. Add honey and turmeric paste to water.
5. Stir until the components are completely dissolved.

Important! Honey should not be added to water heated above 50 degrees, as under such conditions it loses its medicinal properties.

Traditional recipes and remedies with turmeric for the treatment of diseases

Folk recipes with turmeric include its use in decoctions, infusions or specially prepared oil for healing:

1. A tonic drink to boost immunity - take 0.5 teaspoon of plant powder for one and a half glasses of water, add the same amount of ginger, half a sliced ​​lemon with skin and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.

Review

Anna Strelnikova, 33 years old, Suzdal

Today, more than ever, it is important to improve your immunity.
I was convinced of this when I “caught” various infectious diseases every year. I spent the whole winter and early spring on sick leave. I took some pills to improve immunity, but I didn’t notice any results. A friend advised me to pay attention to turmeric. I used to use it as a spice in some dishes, but I didn't know how beneficial it was. It's just a vitamin bomb!

I bought turmeric in your store, since I always order herbs from here. Delivery is convenient and fast, and on the website you can read recipes on how and what to drink correctly. I prepared a decoction with honey, ginger, pepper and lemon. I took this drink to improve my overall tone several times a day. It is not only invigorating, but also delicious!

The result is excellent: I spent the entire last winter without a cold! For the first time in several years! I also lost 3 kilograms! This is a real miracle, I recommend it to everyone!

How to use it correctly?

Before use, you need to thoroughly stir the turmeric in the water so that no suspended sediment remains at the bottom. Drink slowly, in small sips.

This must be done until the temperature of the heated water drops. It must be remembered that you should only drink a freshly prepared portion.

Regarding the time of use, there are two best options: in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening before bed. The morning intake should be at least 30 minutes before breakfast.

In this case, the biologically active components of turmeric will have time to act on the stomach and penetrate into the blood.

For the first week, keep the spice dosage at 0.5 teaspoon.

From the second week, if tolerated well, you can increase the amount of turmeric to one full spoon. The general course of administration on an empty stomach lasts four weeks.

After this, the body should get a two-week break. After 14 days, the dose can be repeated.

Followers of Ayurveda recommend drinking turmeric water at night. For an evening meal, a recipe with honey is more suitable. This drink normalizes sleep, relieves stress accumulated during the day, and helps you relax.

For better absorption of the components, it is advisable that the last meal be 2-2.5 hours before drinking water with turmeric. In the first week, the initial dosage is also maintained , equal to half a teaspoon.

Important! From the eighth day, the amount of turmeric per glass of water can be doubled. The health course lasts 3-4 weeks with a further break of 14 days.

How to properly use turmeric for medicinal purposes

Typically, the plant is used to prepare healthy decoctions, drinks or tinctures. Let's take a closer look at how to properly drink turmeric for medicinal purposes to maximize its effectiveness.

For infectious diseases, in particular influenza, a healing decoction is prepared. To do this, take 0.5 liters of boiling water per half teaspoon, pour turmeric powder over it and leave for 5-10 minutes. The resulting drink is taken 3-4 times a day. To enhance its effectiveness, it is recommended to add honey, but the product should not be very hot, otherwise the honey will lose its healing properties.

To improve digestion in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, prepare the following decoction: a teaspoon of the herbal component is mixed with a glass of water and taken several times a day before meals.

The use of turmeric in the treatment of various diseases is effective not only in its pure form, but also together with other herbs or honey. For example, iron deficiency leads to a decrease in hemoglobin levels in the blood and the development of anemia. To combat this dangerous condition, the plant powder is mixed with buckwheat honey in approximately equal proportions. The mixture is taken 2-3 times a day half an hour before meals.

You can also find many medicinal recipes with turmeric used to prevent senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Stages of preparing this infusion:

• crush three teaspoons of lemon balm;
• add 2 teaspoons of sage leaf, a teaspoon of our golden spice;
• pour the resulting mixture with 0.5 liters of boiling water;
• leave for 15–20 minutes and strain;
• take the prepared infusion ¼ cup 3-4 times a day before meals.

At home, infusions based on this plant help to recover from food poisoning. Chamomile flowers, plantain root, St. John's wort and mint leaves are added to the composition of such products. Take all components in equal parts, add 2 parts of turmeric, pour boiling water over the mixture. After 15 minutes of infusion and straining, the infusion is ready for use!

Important! In case of severe poisoning, accompanied by uncontrollable vomiting, fever and chills, be sure to consult a doctor!
