Turmeric is one of the most used spices in many cuisines around the world for the flavor it adds to dishes. But its use does not stop there, it is also widely used in natural medicine thanks to these beneficial effects on health, and especially the digestive system. That's why we introduce this turmeric-based drink that will stimulate your gut and eliminate parasites.
Curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric, is responsible for its bioactive effects, it can reduce inflammation of your body and fight bacteria and parasites.
Fight pests
In a study conducted by the Faculty of Medicine at Benha University in Egypt, which assesses the effects of turmeric, researchers have found that this spice significantly reduces the parasite load of Schistosoma mansoni and allows the complete absence of adult worms in the treated mice. Turmeric significantly reduces parasite load and granuloma size (small inflammatory cells).
Stimulate the intestine
Curcumin, which is the essential compound of turmeric, promotes digestion by relaxing the smooth muscles of the intestinal walls and gently pushing food into the intestines.
Turmeric helps the stomach wall in many ways. It inhibits the enzymes that compromise the stomach and stimulates the secretions of the lining of the stomach. This lining is the main defense against damage caused by stomach acid.
Stimulate the liver
Turmeric helps to increase the elimination of cholesterol by stimulating the production of bile. When you combine turmeric with high-fiber foods, your liver cleanses cholesterol more effectively by capturing it and moving it directly to the colon for elimination.
Improve the digestive and immune system
The benefits of turmeric do not stop at what we quoted. However, although the spice is potent when used alone, it works best when combined with another spice, the Cayenne pepper. Turmeric has a fairly low bioavailability, but chilli can release its potential and allow you to enjoy all its benefits.
A healthy gut is the key to our immune system and our health. These systems are connected, so if one does not work normally, the other will not be able to defend itself. Millions of people around the world suffer from intestinal problems due to the proliferation of bacteria, but turmeric can restore the beneficial bacteria in your gut and protect your body from many ailments.
This natural remedy is made from cayenne pepper, turmeric, apple cider vinegar and honey, a powerful liquid with many health benefits.

Benefits of ingredients
Cayenne pepper
Cayenne pepper can help strengthen the stomach's defense against infections, increase the production of digestive fluid, and help deliver enzymes to the stomach, aiding in digestion.
Although some believe that spicy foods can cause stomach ulcers, a review article found that capsaicin in Cayenne peppers could actually help reduce the risk of stomach ulcers. However, if you suffer from hemorrhoids or irritable bowel syndrome, it is not recommended to consume this spice.
Cider vinegar
This food has many virtues for health. It has the ability to fight against fungi, yeasts and certain bacteria such as Staphylococcus because of its high acetic acid content. It also promotes good digestion and boosts the metabolism thus allowing to lose weight easily.
Plus, apple cider vinegar in a small amount of water before a meal can help balance acid levels in the stomach.
Honey
According to a study by Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, Australia, honey is effective against dozens of strains of bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella. In another New Zealand study, Manuka honey, combined with Tualang honey from Malaysia, helped fight Staphylococcus and digestive bacteria responsible for peptic ulcers, H. pylori.
