Turmeric is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy that's been used for thousands of years. It's a spice and natural medicine that can help reduce inflammation in the body. In fact, one study found that curcumin—the active ingredient in turmeric—can actually help prevent heart disease by reducing atherosclerosis and plaque buildup.

The benefits don't stop there: Another study found that turmeric was effective at relieving pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA), which affects millions of people every year. In addition, the researchers concluded that "turmeric was equally as effective as ibuprofen," an anti-inflammatory drug commonly used to treat OA pain.

A CUP OF TURMERIC LATTE CAN ALSO BE USED AS A HOME REMEDY FOR INFLAMMATION, COLDS AND FLU.

A cup of turmeric latte can also be used as a home remedy for inflammation, colds and flu. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that can help reduce inflammation in the body. It's particularly effective at supporting you thru colds and flu because it blocks the production of histamine, which causes mucus buildup and watery eyes during illness. Research is ongoing, but it appears that turmeric curcumin may lower inflammation by lowering histamine levels or increasing cortisone's natural production.

Adding lemon juice to this drink makes it even more potent at fighting off colds by keeping your immune system strong and boosting your body's vitamin C levels.

Turmeric lattes can boost one's immune system and beautify skin.

Just like turmeric's other health benefits, it can also help with skin problems. People who are suffering from psoriasis and eczema can benefit by drinking a cup of turmeric latte. There are also some evidence that it helps relieve acne, rosacea and dermatitis.

If you have any skin conditions, try drinking a cup of turmeric latte every day and see if there's an improvement in your condition.
