9. Turmeric’s Curcumin – The Anti-Inflammatory Wonder
Turmeric is renowned for curcumin, its principal active ingredient known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Curcumin is thought to reduce inflammation, which could be beneficial in reducing the pain and swelling associated with strep throat.
Make a soothing turmeric milk or tea by mixing turmeric powder with warm milk or water. Adding black pepper can enhance curcumin absorption.
Moderate, regular doses of turmeric can contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects without overwhelming the palate or digestive system.
Including turmeric as part of your daily regimen can support throat health while providing a general anti-inflammatory effect. (9)
