Ginger And Turmeric, The Joint Medicinal Drink
both ingredients are attributed to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Why does joint pain appear?
Joint pain is an uncomfortable symptom that occurs in the joints of the knees, elbows, shoulders, wrists, ankles, etc. This pain can be acute, produced after physical exertion, or chronic, when it becomes permanent.
Joint pain is usually linked with arthritis.
What is ginger?
Ginger is a root well known in the cooking world for its aroma and flavor. This plant grows more than three feet, but its fruit is buried, like the tubers.
While its culinary uses are widely known for its spicy flavor that pervades any dish, ginger also has many beneficial properties for the body.
One of the most outstanding is that it helps to improve blood circulation, in addition to facilitating the digestive process.
What is turmeric?
Like ginger, turmeric is another highly admired spice in the cooking world. This herbaceous plant originates from India and its fruit are small stalks that, when grated, impregnate any food with its orange color.
Also on the health side, turmeric has great properties. Most of them are focused on the digestive part, as turmeric is carminative. In addition, it has properties to combat stomach upset.
However, the main property of turmeric is anti-inflammatory. For this reason, it becomes a great ally for all those who, regardless of age and circumstances, suffer from arthritis.
