Turmeric has been widely used in ancient healing systems, and it is renowned for its inflammation-curing and cancer-preventative properties. It has also been used in Chinese and Indian medicine for centuries in order to treat jaundice, menstrual discomfort, chest pain, colic and more. It can help treat inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. Turmeric also aids in digestion, boosts your immune system, lowers your cholesterol and cleanses the liver.
Adding in some coconut, flax or chia seeds also helps create a fine balance of fibre, natural sugars, vitamins, minerals, protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
