Turmeric, Ginger & Black Pepper
Why Combine Turmeric, Ginger, and Black Pepper?
Because this is a super-blend against inflammation!
Inflammation is a physical response to injury or disease, so we understand it as one of the body's natural processes. However, when it becomes chronic, it can be the underlying cause of many modern-day medical conditions.
But there is good news ahead…
Nature offers us an abundance of powerful healing spices. For centuries, natural medicine has cultivated this gift, although this knowledge isn't always readily available. And this is where we come in, as we are so passionate about offering you the benefits of the healing powers of plants.
Turmeric, Ginger, and Black Pepper are safe, all-natural superfoods that have proven results in treating digestive disorders. They do not have the side effects of traditional prescription medicines.
Turmeric
Ah, the wonder-root that is Turmeric.
Turmeric both heals and alleviates symptoms. It is also known as a great pain reliever. It can heal or, at the very least, assist in healing some conditions. In other chronic conditions where damage has already been done, it helps to slow down progression while assisting the body in repairing itself.
It all begins with curcumin, turmeric's primary compound. Curcumin is a pain reliever and a detoxifier. It is good for your heart, stomach, liver, and even your skin. Its healing has been demonstrated against a myriad of diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and arthritis. It is even widely used to treat depression and improve brain function.
Turmeric is a golden staple used by Ayurvedic practitioners.

Anti-Inflammatory
Antioxidant
Anti-Microbial
Antiseptic (As well as a wealth of other A+ pharmacological properties.)
Curcumin, turmeric's most studied active ingredient, is an antioxidant hero that fends off the damaging free radicals that weaken our bodies and invite invasive health problems.Curcumin and curcuminoids also interfere in the invasion process of viruses and prevent them from infecting and further multiplying in the body. These also help in heavy metal detoxification.
Ginger
The ginger plant, Zingiber officinale, is full of antioxidants and is the perfect partner to its close cousin, turmeric. In both plants, it is the roots we use. Eating ginger, whether raw, dried, or cooked, cuts down on fermentation, constipation and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas.
Although ginger is recorded as being widely used in ancient India and the Far East, the spice was introduced to Europe by the Romans in the first century AD. In India, ginger has been an ingredient in simple home remedies and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries.

There are many good reasons that gloriously healing ginger is used in many green juices. The overall health benefits of ginger are wide-ranging and wonderfully versatile for use in juices, smoothies, toddies, grated into stir fries, and added to soups and teas.
This ancient medicinal root is hot and stimulating, with a sweet warmth that keeps your digestion burning at the perfect temperature! Ginger contains over 400 natural compounds that make it a brilliant digestion-fueler on its own, but when paired with turmeric, its positive effect is even more enhanced. It's easy to see why pairing it with turmeric is the perfect combo to keep the digestive flames burning.
Black Pepper
Black pepper is used in cuisines all over the world, but it also comes with a myriad of health benefits.
Amazingly medicinal as it is, turmeric does need a little help to be absorbed in the body. Black pepper, the dried berries of the Piper nigrum vine, is recognized as 'turmeric's feisty sidekick'. Black pepper extract greatly enhances the bio-availability of curcumin. Peppercorns contain an enzyme called piperine, which slows down the digestion of turmeric, allowing time for the curcumin to be taken up into the blood stream.
Like turmeric and ginger, this spice has played a vital part in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.

Black Pepper has superpowers. It offers its uniquely deliciously spicy heat while also protecting our bodies with its many healing compounds. It has been considered an important spice for thousands of years and has been pivotal in the spice trade across the world.
Turmeric's curcumin is a proven and potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. But curcumin has limited bio availability, meaning it gets metabolized really fast in the gut and liver. This leaves very little time for absorption, but here is where black pepper comes in – with piperine increasing the absorption of turmeric by a whopping 2000%.
Aside from being the ultimate sidekick to turmeric, black pepper is actually a superstar in its own right. Not only does it add delicious spiciness and heat to food, but it also has many healing benefits for digestive health. It is an antioxidant that fights infections and improves oral health.
Wait! What Is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine and the word “Ayurveda” is derived from Sanskrit, meaning “science of life.”
In Ayurveda, there’s an underlying belief that everything in life is connected. It aims to preserve health and wellness by keeping the mind, body, and spirit in balance and preventing disease rather than treating it.
Ayurvedic herbs and spices are an important component of this approach. They’re thought to protect your body from disease and offer a variety of health benefits including improved digestion, reduced inflammation and improved mental health.
Looking at the above, you can see why this health trifactor of Turmeric, Ginger and Black Pepper is a combination that is used worldwide as invaluable ingredients of Ayurvedic medicine.
