With Turmeric And Ginger For Joint Problems

Turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory effects and are therefore often used in natural medicine to combat joint problems.

Turmeric and ginger are natural anti-inflammatory agents, which are particularly recommended for inflammatory joint problems. Find out how turmeric and ginger can help you with your ailments too!

Turmeric and ginger: delicious and effective!

Turmeric and ginger are delicious spices from the kitchen, but also effective natural remedies.

Today we would like to introduce you to turmeric and ginger and give you recipes in which you can combine both to achieve the maximum effect against joint problems.

Not only seniors are plagued by joint pain. Young people also know the piercing or stabbing, sometimes dull to bright, sharp pain in the joints.

But mother nature has provided us with a few plants, turmeric and ginger, that can help alleviate the symptoms. We explain to you what they are and why they work.

turmeric

A spice that is rather uncommon in Germany has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is turmeric, which is also called turmeric or incorrectly saffron root.

You can usually get it ground as an exotic spice, but also as a fresh root in most health food stores. Turmeric gives food an intense yellow color and is much cheaper than saffron.

The taste is mildly spicy, which is why you can use it generously for seasoning against joint problems. The anti-inflammatory effects in knee arthritis have even been confirmed by studies.

ginger

The components of ginger are particularly effective against muscle pain, but also with mild headaches and rheumatism, as ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties.

One component of ginger inhibits an enzyme that is active in the body when there is pain. If this enzyme is inhibited, the pain is alleviated. The principle works like a painkiller, only a little more gentle on the stomach and more natural.

It is important that you prepare the ginger fresh and not use it as a powder. The effective essential oils are only completely preserved in fresh ginger!

It doesn’t matter whether you grate the ginger raw or cook it as tea. Ginger is also delicious when it is candied! The more the better. We have three ideas for you on how to prepare turmeric and ginger for joint problems!

Ginger turmeric drink

Warning: ginger is not suitable for pregnant women and should not be used during pregnancy!

For a refreshing orange shake with turmeric and ginger you need:

• 2 oranges
• 1 tbsp freshly grated turmeric root (or 1 tsp dried & ground)
• A piece of fresh ginger (to taste)

Squeeze the oranges and add fresh turmeric and ginger. Then puree the juice with the hand blender to make a spicy and sour-hot soft drink.

It tastes particularly good when the oranges come out of the fridge well chilled!

Carrot and turmeric juice with ginger

The fine flavor of turmeric goes well with carrots and pumpkin.

So how about a delicious pumpkin or carrot soup that you season with plenty of turmeric and ginger?

We recommend this carrot turmeric juice for breakfast. You need:

• 500g fresh carrots
• 3-5 fresh turmeric roots (depending on size)
• A piece of fresh ginger
• An electric juicer

Wash carrots, turmeric, and ginger thoroughly under running water. You don’t need to peel the roots, so you can put them in the juicer.

Don’t use a steam juicer, rather one that uses centrifugal force and a rotating grater.

Juice carrots, turmeric, and ginger to make a juice that you can flavor with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Pineapple turmeric shake

The pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which soothes inflammation and reduces swelling. Therefore, this active ingredient is also often recommended after dental or oral surgery interventions.

In order to absorb the necessary amount of bromelain, you have to incorporate a lot of pineapple into your diet, but the active ingredient is also available in concentrated form in tablet form.

If you only occasionally suffer from joint problems and want to prevent inflammation and swelling, simply integrate pineapple products such as pineapple juice or fresh pineapple (please not sugared and only canned fruits without sugar!) In your daily menu.

In combination with turmeric and ginger you forge an effective alliance against joint problems! You need:

• 100g pineapple (fresh or unsweetened from the can)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric (dried or 1 tbsp freshly grated)
• 1 piece of fresh ginger
• ½ banana
• Some water or coconut milk

Put all the ingredients together in a blender and puree them into a creamy smoothie. Add water or coconut milk, as desired, until you like the consistency.

Coconut milk tastes very tasty in combination with pineapple and is reminiscent of the tropical cocktail Pina Colada.
