I have been on a turmeric kick lately! Turmeric cashew spread, turmeric in my smoothies, and of course turmeric tea! Turmeric has been used for medicinal reasons for thousands of years. Its been used in cooking as well as beauty products. Turmeric has been noted be an anticarcinogen, it aids in boosting the metabolism, helps to lower risk of heart disease, it is anti-inflammatory and as many other healing benefits.
