However, I have tried tumeric powder with milk and honey as a drink in the morning.  its great .One outstanding difference between tumeric and milk with honey drink with the others above is that they all contain caffeine in varying amounts.  It is naturally caffeine-free and energizing due to its rich content of  beneficial anti oxidants without the caffeine.  It helps keep the body heated up, so as to keep cold and cough away especially during the rainy season.

     6.  RELIEF FROM HEADACHE:  This may sound strange but, at the onset or sign of headache, of course, I have advised some clients to stay away from certain foods at the first sign of headache.  Foods such as nuts including coconut, peanut and fried foods should be avoided immediately.  However one food that should be embraced at such a time is tumeric.  It is good in circulation, rich in nutrients that heats up the body, destroying yeasts and other agents that encourage poor circulation which makes the headache worse.  Tumeric with honey drink is a good drink at such a time.
