Turmeric and Ginger Health Benefitsturmeric and ginger health benefits are huge

Are you aware of the amazing turmeric and ginger health benefits? It is quickly becoming quite commonly believed that turmeric is the most powerful herb there is for fighting and preventing disease. And this is based on vast and thorough research, and due to turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin.

Turmeric is in the ginger family of herbs. We’ll discuss ginger health benefits in a bit.

Turmeric / Curcumin Health Benefits Are Awesome

The “Golden Spice” is good for health because it contains curcumin, which has been used for thousands of years to cure or prevent many problems, such as inflammation, arthritis, skin problems (like eczema, acne and psoriasis), type 2 diabetes and even depression and certain types of cancer. It also impedes or stops unwanted blood clotting, and helps with immune function and liver health.

Curcumin has shown to be as effective for depression as Prozac, but without the side effects or the cost.

Other things that curcumin is good for are pain, circulation, joint health, detoxification and recovery of soar muscles. It’s antimicrobial qualities are also known to fight viruses, fungi, and parasites.

Did I mention the benefit of turmeric for cardiovascular health? If not…

There are known benefits of turmeric for cardiovascular health. There you have it.

Not too bad for a herb many people think is just the ingredient in curry that makes it stink like curry…

Turmeric with Pepper Benefits

The range of health benefits of turmeric / curcumin when black pepper is added increases greatly.

Turmeric with pepper benefits health in additional and greater ways, provided it is black pepper, and real black pepper.turmeric with pepper benefits Turmeric and black pepper work together to increase both the absorption and effectiveness of turmeric for healing.

Black pepper contains an alkaloid called piperine, which drastically helps with turmeric’s poor absorption. A medical college in India performed a study that showed that adding black pepper to turmeric increased it’s absorption to around 2,000 per cent.

What Is the Best Turmeric Supplement

As mentioned above, raw turmeric is not well absorbed by the body. The best turmeric supplement is going to contain black pepper, to drastically improve it’s bioavailability. Turmeric with black pepper is known to aid in weight loss and healthy digestion far better than turmeric alone. Black pepper also significantly increases all of the other health benefits of turmeric that I mentioned.

The best turmeric supplement that I have been able to find, after painstakingly combing the entire internet (well, practically the entire internet!)… contains both black pepper and ginger, and also happens to be relatively inexpensive. Here is a review of this product (Please use the link [below] on this page to order, so I get my small commission!).

Ginger Root Health Benefits

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a perennial, evergreen, herbaceous plant with brownish-violet or yellow flowers. It possesses a range of beneficial biological characteristics, such as

  • antioxidant
  • antiviral
  • anti-inflammatory
  • antimicrobial
  • anticancer
  • cardiovascular protective
  • neuroprotective

Ginger root, as well as having pretty much all of the same health benefits as turmeric / curcumin, has some additional virtues. These include the inhibiting of the formation of stomach ulcers and it can act as an effective pain-reliever.

Additionally, ginger root can help to normalize blood sugar and can be a very effective diet aid.

Ginger contains small amounts of calcium, zinc, riboflavin, thiamine and pantothenic acid. It is also a strong source of magnesium, calcium and phosphorus.

Ginger Root Benefits for Men ginger root benefits for men-ginger root and turmeric tea

As well as the vitamins mentioned above, ginger also contains vitamins A, C, and E, zinc and beta-carotene. These are all antioxidants, which protect the prostate from the harm caused by free radicals, which feed cancer cells and accelerate the aging of cells and tissue.

Among men, prostate cancer is the second most common disease, next to skin cancer.

Other things that help to prevent prostate enlargement / cancer are pomegranate, Japanese sophora flower buds, turmeric, vitamin D3, copper, manganese, magnesium and selenium.

Ginger Root Benefits for Women

Ginger helps to alleviate morning sickness and to ease menstrual pain. This is largely due to its containig gingerol, which is responsible for most of ginger’s antioxidant qualities.

Other ginger root benefits for women include fighting bacterial and fungal infections, as well as
preventing nausea during pregnancy, accelerating metabolism, increasing libido during menopause, and assuaging the pain of a migraine.

Ginger Essential Oil Uses

Because it contains the highest quantity of gingerol, ginger essential oil is probably the most potent form in which you can get ginger.

Another benefit of ginger that the women might find more interesting than the men is that you can use ginger essential oil to give a massage. It works very well for cold feet. Rub the oil into your feet and wait a minute. Come to think of it, I guess you could remedy a cold anything with ginger essential oil…

Other beneficial ginger essential oil uses are for pain relief (used topically, of course), nausea, inflammation, and respiratory troubles, such as asthma and bronchitis.ginger essential oil health benefits

Used as aromatherapy, it is said that ginger essential oil will make you feel courageous. So, no more need to pound back a pint of vodka whenever you are feeling un-courageous. Thank God!

Actually, if you ask me, courage is not a feeling, or the absence of fear, but a choice you make every time you deduce that there is something on the other side of your fear that is more important than the fear, and stepping through it.

That was irrelevant, but free!

Turmeric and Ginger Root Tea

Yes, of course you can make turmeric and ginger root tea! You can even (and should) add black pepper to it to make it way more beneficial. I have never tried to make turmeric and ginger root tea, but I plan to very soon, following this recipe that I came across.

Let Us Hear the Conclusion of the Whole Matter

Well, I knew that ginger and turmeric were very beneficial for health, but until I started this article, I had no idea just how many turmeric and ginger health benefits there really were.

And it excites me!

In my research I also discovered what I truly believe is going to be the best turmeric supplement in the entire universe, which I will share with you again here Terry Naturally CuraMed® 375 mg.

Thanks for coming by. I hope you have found yourself just a bit better for having done so. Either way, please leave your thoughts or questions below. We love that!

Cheers.

  2. Thank you, for the awesome post Craig. I am aware that Turmeric and Ginger have numerous health benefits. But you have high lighted the benefits well, and the emphasized on the nil side effects unlike Prozac. 

    I was not aware that Turmeric is not easily absorbed in the body unless taken along with black pepper. It is worth trying your the Dietary  supplement Terry Naturally CuraMed, as it is not expensive at all compared to all the Allopathic supplements recommended by doctors. They do have some side effects too unlike the natural supplements.

  3. Hi Alicia.

    Turmeric supplements with black pepper are great. The pepper helps the curcumin to be much more bioavailable. You can also buy nanonized curcuma, which is absorbed much better still, and it stays in your system far longer.

  4. My step-father has been using turmeric for years to keep inflammation at bay and he says he notices when he doesn’t take it. He takes a supplement like you mentioned in the article, but I’ve just started sprinkling it over certain foods. If someone has no known health issues, would you suggest they also take a supplement, or is simply using the spice enough?

  6. I have actually been drinking ginger tea for a week or 2 now, because I have a throat and ear infection, that is about to turn chronic. At least twice a year this bothers me. And drinking ginger tea helps against the pain of the infection. Turmeric however I haven’t tried yet, so I am going to try these supplements and hope I will get less sick, Thanks!

  8. I have heard of this combination before. My friend once told me that it can cure a sore throat, I don’t know how accurate that statement is. But it is something that I will include in my diet. I never really consume much of it so it will be good to start now. This you for this wonderful article. I enjoyed reading it
