arthritis autoimmune conditions heart disease fatigue gut issues thyroid problems and that's just a short list of the signs and symptoms of chronic inflammation taking over your body and today I'm going to share with you a powerful drink that can help you get rid of that inflammation and take back control over your health because it's packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients that scientific research has proven to significantly reduce the inflammation in your body inflammation is one of the biggest barriers that I see in people trying to heal and recover many people try medications or supplements or new diets
but they don't address the hidden inflammation that is driving their symptoms once we tackle that root cause everything starts to shift pain Fades away energy returns and chronic conditions begin to reverse themselves and this drink that I'm about to share with you can be a powerful tool in that process so first I'm going to go through through the ingredients and explain what their benefits are and then I will share the recipe so let me show you how this works Rus have you ever heard of this so this is a natural herb tea it's caffeine-free and
it's packed with polyphenols which are plant-based antioxidants and they calm down inflammation in the body it is also really great for gut health which by the way is where most chronic inflammation actually starts next we have cinnamon and cinnamon contains compounds like cinnamon acid and cinnamon and alahh both of which reduce oxidative stress and fight inflammation cinnamon supports blood sugar balance as well and boosts circulation both of which are important for reducing inflammation for this drink you want to look for Salon cinnamon it is richer in antioxidants than other varieties of cinnamon now we come
to cloves and cloves contain a compound called eugenol which is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound eugenol has has been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in both joints and in muscles and then Ginger especially fresh ginger ginger is best for its anti-inflammatory effects because the active compound Ginger alls they reduce muscle pain joint stiffness and improve gut health and reduce nausea very impressively so for this recipe fresh ginger is best but ground ginger will certainly work in a pinch now turmeric my favorite herbal medicine and spice Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin and
it is so powerful that it's been compared to over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers like ibuprofen and other medications but here's the catch your body doesn't absorb curcumin super well on its own which brings us to our next ingredient and that is black pepper so black pepper contains a compound called piperine which is a natural compound in the pepper corns that increases the absorption and bioavailability of curcumin and turmeric by up to 2,00 th% without it most of the curcumin that you consume just passes right through your system and this is why you'll often see turmeric
supplements that are paired with black pepper and that brings us to orange zest now unlike lemon zest orange zest is rich in flavonoids like hesperadin which are known to reduce inflammation especially in the inner lining of your blood vessels and this brings us to our last ingredient which is optional but I certainly recommend it and that is raw honey now honey does have some modest anti-inflammatory benefits and it's also delicious it contains antioxidants and just make sure that you use raw honey local if possible to get the most health benefits out of it oh and
I forgot to mention I have a list of five herbal tees for joint pain and inflammation right here all right here's how to bring all of these powerful ingredients together into a drink that will reduce inflammation and reduce your joint pain now you can make this as a batch for the entire week or you can make it daily but this recipe here is just for one serving so you'll need 2 cups of water one Roy buus tea bag or one teaspoon of loose Roy buus leaf tea one half a teaspoon of Salon cinnamon and that's
ground cinnamon two to three whole cloves or just a/4 teaspoon of ground clove powder one half an inch of fresh ginger root which you can slice or half a teaspoon of ground dyed ginger powder one/ half a teaspoon of ground turmeric and just a pinch of black pepper freshly ground is ideal the zest of 1/ half of one orange and that should be a fresh orange and a half a teaspoon of raw honey so now you'll make the tea as you normally would and just let it simmer covered for 5 to 7 minutes so that
all of those anti-inflammatory compounds Infuse and stay in that tea and let it steep cover it again for 2 to three more minutes now add your honey and enjoy for the the very best results don't chug this tea all at once it's better to drink it slowly to give your gut a chance to fully absorb all of those nutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds and the best time to drink this tea is either first thing in the morning or midm morning to give your body the anti-inflammatory boost that it needs for the rest of the day now
this drink works because it brings together a combination of powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant and gut supporting ingredients each one that plays its own role the antioxidants neutralize free radicals the anti-inflammatory compounds reduce swelling and pain and then those gut supporting nutrients promote healthy digestion which further lowers inflammation throughout the entire body so if you drink this daily you may start noticing less pain more energy better overall health in as little as one week and if you want to switch things up a bit after a week of drinking this particular tea try one of these five herbal
teas that I mentioned earlier these are also great for reducing joint pain and inflammation I'll see you there
