I cannot sing the praises of Turmeric enough. It is truly the wonder spice for overall health. There have been so many studies done regarding the healing and preventative benefits of Turmeric, that there is no doubt that this is an important item to add to your natural arsenal.
But, there are a couple of things that are important to understand regarding the most efficient intake of turmeric
First off, it must be taken with oil. If it is taken as a powder or root without the presence of some form of oil it is not bioavailable to the body, meaning your body cannot absorb the beneficial properties of the root.
Second, if you consume turmeric with pepper, it is 1,000 times more effective. The pipeline in black pepper (which is what makes it spicy) increases the absorption of the turmeric by heating up the digestive system
Ingredients
1/2 cup of coconut oil, heated to a liquid state
3 1/2 Tablespoons of Turmeric Powder
1/2 - 1 teaspoon of cayenne or black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
1/2 cup of activated or raw almonds
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a small food processor, this is where the magic bullet really comes in handy. Blend the ingredients until the consistency you prefer. You can make it a chunky butter or a smooth, depending on your preference.
Serve on an apple or slice of melba toast. Whatever you like the most
