Both Honey & Turmeric Can Fight Cold Viruses
Both honey and turmeric have antiviral properties. And while they may not work against every virus that can cause a cold (there are more than 200 of them!), they can counter some. For instance, research indicates that curcumin in turmeric can stop the respiratory syncytial virus from multiplying. Honey, on the other hand, acts against certain adenoviruses. Use them together and you may be able to fight a whole gamut of cold viruses.
Honey-Turmeric Immunity Booster
Mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder in 2 teaspoons of honey and have every day on an empty stomach. If this is too strong for you, just mix with 1 cup of warm water and drink up.
You can also make a golden turmeric milk by boiling 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder paste with 1 cup of Almond milk. Stir in 2 teaspoons of honey and have twice a day.
Honey-Turmeric Cold Remedy
Mix 1 tablespoon of powdered turmeric and 5 ounces of honey. Take 1/2 teaspoon of this every hour if you’re suffering from a terribly bad cold.
The next day you can reduce the dosage and take 1/2 teaspoon every couple of hours. Reduce it further on the third day and go for 3 doses in a day. For added effect, round this routine off with steam inhalation using a few drops of turmeric oil 3 times a day.
