When combined and used properly, this drink can bring certain benefits, especially to the digestive system and skin.
Turmeric starch contains curcumin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. According to Dr. Michael Greger, a doctor and nutritionist in the US, curcumin can help reduce inflammation in the body and contribute to improving some digestive problems such as bloating and indigestion.
Meanwhile, honey has mild antibacterial properties and helps soothe the mucous membrane. Professor Ronald Eccles, an expert at Cardiff University (UK), said that honey can help soothe irritated tissues, while supporting the immune system thanks to natural biological compounds.
When combined, honey and turmeric starch are often used to help reduce symptoms of stomach ulcers, improve digestion and soothe the throat. In addition, the antioxidants in these two ingredients can also contribute to slowing down the skin aging process and supporting strengthening resistance.
However, experts also note that the effectiveness of this mixture depends on the dosage and constitution of each person. Using too much can cause internal heat or digestive discomfort. In particular, people with severe stomach disease, gallstones or taking medication should consult a doctor before using it regularly.
