Turmeric is not just a spice that is found in every Indian kitchen where we use it in ever recipe, but it is also interestingly a cooling agent!!

This might be a little confusing because we all think a spice cannot be used to cool off. Turmeric possesses anti inflammation properties and promotes cooling down of the body. During summers, especially in India, we tend to sweat a lot and our body gets heated constantly. Consuming spices in such times would make you think you’re only adding more heat to the body but let’s burst the myth, shall we?

Consuming spices in such times makes you sweat more which later leads to cooling off the heat in your body. This would sound a little surprising to you, but that is the truth. Consuming turmeric in the form of herbal tea or ‘haldi ka doodh’ (Golden Latte) helps you cool off during the heated summers. Turmeric prevents body from over exposure from heat and harmful UV rays. Apart from this, in summers, turmeric also boosts immunity and stimulates the digestive process.

Other spices like Cinnamon and Bay Leaf posses cooling down properties as well. They promote blood circulation that again leads to perspiration, resulting in healing, releasing the excess internal heat from body, thus leaving a cooling effect.
