It’s great to see your enthusiasm for this powerful combination! The mixture of turmeric honey (or turmeric) is really acclaimed by its beneficial health properties, and it is no coincidence that it has been used for centuries in various cultures, especially in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.

The idea that it is “the most powerful antibiotic in the world, that even doctors could explain” is a popular way to express admiration for their qualities. Although it is important to keep in mind that no natural remedy replaces antibiotics prescribed by a doctor for serious and specific bacterial infections, modern science has investigated and, in many cases, the properties that honey and turmeric have.

Honey and Curuma: a pair with recognized powers
Both ingredients have impressive properties, and when combined, their effects can be enhanced:

Honey:
Antibacterial and antiseptic properties: honey is naturally antimicrobial. This is due to several factors:
Hydrogen peroxide: When honey is diluted, an enzyme present in it (glucose oxidase) produces hydrogen peroxide, which has antibacterial action.
High sugar content and low pH: Its high concentration of sugars creates an environment where most bacteria cannot prosper, and its acid pH also inhibits microbial growth.
Bioactive compounds: Honey contains flavonoids and other phenolic compounds that contribute to their properties.


Anti-inflammatory: It helps reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for sore throat and other mild inflammation.
Healing: It is used topically to help in healing wounds and burns.
Immunostimulant: can help strengthen the immune system.
Turmeric (turmeric):
Curcumin: The main active compound of turmeric is curcumin, a polyphenol with notable properties:
Powerful anti-inflammatory: It is one of the most studied and recognized properties of curcumin. It helps combat chronic inflammation, which is linked to various diseases.


Antioxidant: Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals in the body, which cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and disease.
Antimicrobial: Studies have shown that curcumin can have activity against certain bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, as well as fungi and viruses.
Immunomodulatory: can help regulate and strengthen the immune system.
The combination synergy:
When honey and turmeric come together, they can offer a broader effect: honey acts as a vehicle for turmeric, improving its consumption, and its individual properties complement each other. The turmeric is best absorbed in the presence of black pepper (piperin), so adding a pin to this mixture can increase its bioavailability.

How to prepare and use the “natural antibiotic” of honey and turmeric
This “revenue” is another form of regular consumption to enjoy the general benefits.

Ingredients:

100 g of pure honey (preferably organic and non -pasteurized)
1 tablespoon of good quality turmeric powder
¼ tsp ground black pepper (optional, but recommended for absorption)
Utensils:

Glass jar with airtight lid
Spoon or spatula
Instructions:

In a clean glass jar, add the honey.
Add the turmeric powder and ground black pepper (if use).
Mix very well with a spoon or spatula until a homogeneous and well incorporated folder. Honey may have to be a little warm in a water bath if it is very crystallized to make it easier.
Mode of consumption:

For general well-being and immunological reinforcement: Take 1 teaspoon of this mixture once or twice a day.
For cold/flu symptoms or sore throat: Take 1 tsp 3 to 4 times a day. It can be consumed pure, diluted in a little warm water or tea, or added to juices or vitamins.
Storage:

Store in an airtight pot in a cool, dry place, far from the direct light of the sun. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated because honey is a natural preservative.
Important Considerations:
Consult a healthcare professional: Although this mixture is beneficial to overall health and to relieve light symptoms, it does not replace medical treatment. If you have a serious infection, persistent fever or any worrying health condition, see a doctor immediately.
Turricum and gallstones: People with a history of gallstones should be careful with turmeric consumption as it can stimulate gallbladder contraction.
