As one of the hottest health ingredients of 2016, we’ve seen turmeric pop up in soups, smoothies, salads and lattes – but did you know that it’s also an awesome post workout recovery drink due to its anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing qualities? Now, available to sip on at any time of the day, either alone or brewed, chilled and popped into a smoothie, the master herbalists at Pukka are thrilled to deliver the golden goodness of organic turmeric to health nuts across the country, with the launch of Turmeric Gold (RRP $7.95), a carefully crafted turmeric tonic with the added goodness of green tea.
 
Packing a powerful antioxidant punch, the dynamic duo delivers far more benefits than its delicious taste. While the turmeric and green tea combination is bursting with healthful, antioxidant properties, Turmeric is quite the sporty spice too, and has been shown to have many sport specific benefits like reducing joint pain, aiding muscle strain and helping to ease DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) post workout.
 
Enjoyed hot or cold, Pukka’s tran-seasonal Turmeric Gold tea combines Indian turmeric, Sicilian lemon and green tea to deliver the earthiness of green tea, the warmth of spice and a and citrusy lift of lemon, expertly blended by co-founder and Master Herbsmith, Sebastian Pole, who is thrilled to bring his latest addition to tea loving folks around the world.  
 
“We are delighted to unveil our first turmeric tea. Turmeric is renowned for its vibrancy in colour and we want Turmeric Gold to give people the feeling of vibrancy, invigorating the whole body. Most people have heard of turmeric in cooking but through our Turmeric Gold it is now easier than ever to get your everyday consumption of this superspice,” Pole said.
 
Like all Pukka teas, Turmeric Gold is made using the highest quality organic herbs and spices that are Soil Association certified. The tea also uses the FairWild certified herbs, providing a guarantee that the herbs have been wild-harvested ethically and the farmers have been paid fairly for their work. Pukka is distributed in Australia by Organic Trader and is available from select health food stores, independent grocers, and online at www.pukkaherbs.com.au.



More About Turmeric:
 
There are an abundance of benefits Turmeric has to offer.  Here are a few to consider:
 
  • Turmeric actively inhibits inflammatory pathways within the body, making turmeric a first choice to assist inflammations of the musculoskeletal digestive systems.
  •  Research has shown that turmeric impacts upon certain pain receptors within the body; it has been demonstrated as being particularly effective for chest and abdominal pain, frozen shoulder and menstrual cramping. 
  • Turmeric contains some very potent polyphenols, also known as antioxidants, which have the ability to protect cellular DNA and repair any existing damage from environmental carcinogens, 
  • Turmeric has a significant action upon the heart and the circulation. It will improve the flow of blood to the heart and encourage anti-platelet activity, reducing the risk of plaque build up in the arteries. 
  • Turmeric also improves blood flow through the liver, improving the efficacy of liver detoxification pathways but also stimulating cellular repair mechanisms in damaged liver cells. This improvement in blood flow and quality impacts significantly upon the quality of the skin. 
  • In the digestive system, turmeric helps balance levels of bacteria, supporting a healthy digestive environment.
