Introduction
Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can contribute to various health issues like arthritis, heart disease, and digestive problems. Fortunately, certain natural ingredients possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm inflammation and promote overall wellness. This article shares an easy-to-make, one-cup recipe packed with natural anti-inflammatory ingredients designed to reduce inflammation naturally.
Ingredients:
-

1 tablespoon raw honey (preferably organic)

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
-
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
-
A pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
-
Optional: Juice of half a lemon (for added vitamin C and flavor)
Preparation:
-
Warm the water until it is comfortably hot but not boiling. Boiling water can destroy some beneficial properties in honey and fresh ingredients.

Add the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper to the warm water. Stir well to combine.

Let the mixture steep for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to infuse fully.

Store any leftover mixture in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently before drinking.
