Ginger’s root is what you’re most likely familiar, not the actual flowering plant. Used as a seasoning or flavoring in food, it is also a traditional remedy. Ginger possesses a hot and spicy taste. Ginger is widely used as a remedy is for GI disturbances ranging from nausea to bloat, and even respiratory symptoms.

Turmeric is also a part of the ginger family. It’s native to India, and the root is utilized often in   Indian curries. Remedies associated with turmeric include treatment of indigestion, colds, liver problems, and skin ailme. 

The amazing addition to my tea tool kit has been so benefiting. Here are some of my favorites:  

  • Longevity: there has been some research that has shown significant implications that the compound curcumin in turmeric increases lifespan. 
  • Anti-inflammatory: the anti-inflammatory power of turmeric rivals conventional drugs ibuprofen and aspirin. It has been found to be stronger and with fewer side effects.
