How Kitchen Spices can keep us healthy: Spice 4: Black Pepper

Ayurveda helped me to look into MY KITCHEN CABINET to IGNITE the HEALER in ME.

Spices make our food delicious. They are just not flavor enhancers. Infact, they are OUR kitchen pharmacy!

Let's dive into the topic!

Spice of the Day: Black Pepper

Black pepper is generally used for seasoning and traditional medicinal purposes. It is cleansing and has antioxidant properties.

Benefits:

•Enhances digestion

•Stimulates the appetite

•Helps maintain respiratory system health

•Maintains health of the joints

If you have cold, cough or sore throat, try this recipe for a couple of days to get relief:

1. 1.5 cup of milk( I always use organic)

2. 1/2 tsp turmeric

3. 1/4 grounded black pepper

Boil the milk by adding the above ingredients and drink once it is warm at bedtime.
