Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric, grated)
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cups water
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions

1. Boil the Water

• Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot.

2. Add Turmeric and Ginger

• Once the water is boiling, add the grated ginger and turmeric (or turmeric powder). Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the beneficial compounds to infuse into the water.

Benefits of Turmeric and Ginger Drink

1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is a key factor in preventing blood clots.

Ginger: Ginger also has strong anti-inflammatory effects, helping to further reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

2. Improves Circulation

Turmeric and Ginger: Both turmeric and ginger are known to improve blood circulation. Better circulation helps prevent the stagnation of blood, which can lead to clot formation.

3. Natural Blood Thinners

Turmeric: Curcumin in turmeric acts as a natural blood thinner, helping to prevent clots from forming.

Ginger: Ginger contains salicylates, which are natural blood-thinning compounds. This can help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve overall cardiovascular health.

4. Boosts Immunity

Lemon and Honey: Adding lemon juice and honey not only enhances the flavor but also boosts the drink’s immune-boosting properties, helping you stay healthy overall.
