Health benefits

TURMERIC

It’s key ingredients and potent herbs, ginger and turmeric, are botanically related to each other and are known remedies for gastro-intestinal problems and inflammatory conditions, due to the active ingredient of Curcumin which is found in turmeric. This powerhouse ingredient is also an anti-oxidant, detoxifier and your digestion’s best friend!

 

GINGER

Ginger is also a must to maintain your gut health – it stimulates digestion and relieves bloating, cramps and bowel irritation. Gut health is the key to a healthy and well functioning body. What better way to set yourself up than to prepare your gut and reenergise your body for the day ahead.

Ginger and turmeric together are today used to treat nausea, colds and other respiratory conditions, build immunity, as well as being believed to protect the brain from damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.
