home remedy. Turmeric lattes are now raging all over social media timelines.
In the spirit of sharing, Indian supermodel Padma Lakshmi, who has two cookbooks to her name recently shared an interesting hack to beat cold and flu and also boost immunity. Winter hasn’t still gone away and with the additional pollution woes, a nagging cough and cold have become fairly common. She shared a recipe for turmeric margarita to beat away the blues and we completely agree with her! She combined ginger and turmeric with the drink and it is also something you can prepare yourself to beat any infection you might be suffering from.
Sharing the recipe on Instagram, Padma Lakshmi wrote,
I know turmeric is all the rage right now, but we Indians have been using it for centuries! Take a break from the Turmeric Milk and try this Turmeric Margarita 🍹✨ (Don’t forget to pour a healthy dose of lime juice into the cocktail shaker, which we did off camera!)

How does this remedy help?
Needless to say, turmeric is a great healing root which has the most essential component, curcumin, which is full of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger, on the other hand, is a warm root which is excellent to soothe a sore and irritated throat. It has an active component, gingerol, which fights the virus and protects you from further danger and infections. When you have a concoction of ginger and turmeric, it gives a boost to the immune system and gets rid of the virus at the base level. Thus, the infection goes away and heals in no time. The drink also contains the benefits of lime juice and Vitamin C, which strengthen your immunity.
However, just because turmeric is a natural healer doesn’t mean you have it in heaps. Too much of turmeric can be risky for the body and cause side-effects. You can also give other home remedies a try, which are not just cost-effective but also better at fighting infections than regular antibiotics.
