Super easy Orange Turmeric Jamu Juice coming at ya!
It's allergy season and what's better than a delicious beverage to cool you off while also helping to fight your allergies!
Turmeric is a root vegetable that is often used as a spice as a result of it's powerful taste. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric an has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on histamine release from mast cells. This leads to less histamine production in the body and relief from some of those difficult allergy symptoms- sneezing, runny nose, itchy red eyes. Vitamin C has also been shown to have anti-histamine properties. Oranges are full of vitamin C. They also have polyphenols (which are important for a healthy gut and immune system).
