How To Make Anti-Inflammatory Ginger and Turmeric Gummies

Turmeric has been used for thousands of years, particularly in Asia, as a textile dye, healing remedy and as a condiment. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and a natural pain reliever.

Turmeric is a root from the longa plant and has dark brown skin on the outside, but on the inside, it is bright orange! (see picture below). Its special active agent is known as curcumin, which has been shown to possess all these powerful health benefits.

Ginger on the other hand, shares similar benefits: it is an anti-inflammatory and has been shown in studies to help reduce pain in people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. But it’s also been used for gastrointestinal issues (such as indigestion) as it is able to sooth the intestinal tract.

These two ingredients may seem hard to find, but you can buy both turmeric and ginger root (or powder) at your local health food stores. These two roots boast so many health benefits, they are on our list of the Top 5 Effective and Natural Remedies for Inflammation.

Directions:

1. Using a microplane, grate the turmeric and ginger. Add them to a sauce pan with your milk of choice. Stir and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
