    The power of natural ingredients for your health

    In recent years, turmeric wellness shots have gained popularity as a natural remedy for a variety of health concerns. These shots are made with a combination of orange, lemon, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, olive oil, and honey, and offer a range of benefits for the body and mind.

    In this blog post, we'll explore the key ingredients in turmeric wellness shots and how they can help improve your overall health.

    What are turmeric wellness shots?

    Designed to give your body a boost, these turmeric wellness shots are typically a mixture of ingredients rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories. When made fresh, the shots offer your body a powerful boost of goodness to support your immune system, aid digestion or fight inflammation.

    Star ingredients for turmeric wellness shots

    Turmeric

    Turmeric is the star ingredient in these wellness shots, and for good reason. This bright yellow spice is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which has been shown to help reduce inflammation and pain in the body. Studies have also found that curcumin may help improve brain function and reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases.

    Ginger

    Ginger is another key ingredient in turmeric wellness shots. Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including nausea, inflammation, and pain. Ginger may also help improve digestion and reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, including heart disease and diabetes.

    Black Pepper

    Black pepper is often added to turmeric wellness shots to enhance the absorption of curcumin in the body. Piperine, the active ingredient in black pepper, has been shown to increase the bioavailability of curcumin by up to 2,000%. This means that adding black pepper to your turmeric shot can help ensure that your body can absorb and use the curcumin more effectively.

    Olive Oil

    Olive oil is another ingredient that is often included in turmeric wellness shots. Olive oil is rich in healthy fats and antioxidants and may help improve heart health, reduce inflammation, and protect against chronic disease. The healthy fats in olive oil can help improve the absorption of curcumin in the body, making it an ideal addition to turmeric shots.

    Honey

    Honey is often added to turmeric wellness shots for its natural sweetness and antibacterial properties. Honey has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including sore throat and coughs. It also has natural antibacterial properties, which can help promote overall health and wellness. You can also use maple syrup or coconut syrup as a sweetener.

    Citrus Fruits

    Citrus fruits in turmeric wellness shots, including orange and lemon, provide a natural source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect against cellular damage and boost immune function. It also plays a key role in collagen production, which is essential for healthy skin, hair, and nails.

    Recipe Notes

    • Don't have a powerful blender? Just grate the harder ingredients such as the ginger, turmeric and carrot to make it easier to blend.
    • Prefer a smoother shot? You can always strain it using a cheesecloth or strainer. Personally I don't do this, I like keeping all the goodness!
    • You can keep the mixture for 7 days in the fridge or freeze into large ice cube trays and defrost when required.
