Materials

  • Cup or glass
  • Mixing spoon

Preparation

  • Heat the water to about 40°C (warm, not hot).
  • Add the turmeric and mix well.
  • Add the black pepper and continue stirring.
  • If you like, add honey and lemon juice for a more pleasant taste and extra benefits.
  • Consume immediately, stirring constantly to prevent the turmeric from settling.

Observations

For better absorption of curcumin, it is recommended to add black pepper.
Grated ginger can also be added for a stronger anti-inflammatory effect.
Honey helps improve the taste and antibacterial effect.
It can also be consumed in the evening for a relaxing effect, but be careful with people with sensitive stomachs.

Administration

1-2 cups a day of turmeric with lukewarm water half an hour before meals is recommended, depending on each person's tolerance and the purpose of consumption:
  • 1 cup per day - for health maintenance, detoxification and mild anti-inflammatory effect.
  • 2 cups a day - for a more intense effect in case of chronic inflammations, joint pains or to support immunity in critical periods.
Drink daily for 2-4 weeks, followed by a one-week break.
A 30-day detox is recommended for visible benefits.

⚠️ Recommendations:
  • Morning on an empty stomach for maximum effect.
  • Can be combined with vegetable milk (e.g. almond milk) for a refreshing effect.
  • Add to smoothies or other healthy drinks.
