Kale? Chia Seeds? It seems every month there is a new health food dominating Pinterest, but the latest is really worth your attention. It is going to completely transform your beauty routine!

Meet turmeric – an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial root that is used traditionally in Indian cooking. I loooove turmeric! Mmm, can’t get enough.

So why exactly is it so great?

Well, minor inflammation plays a huge role in like alllll chronic diseases! In other words, turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties have been linked to the prevention and treatment of cancer, Alzheimer’s and other conditions.

In addition to the AMAZING health benefits, this super spice is a must for your beauty routine too, and is particularly great for brightening and whitening your skin and teeth! Not to mention, you can find it at your local grocery store!

Side note- turmeric is super yummy to drink in a little smoothie or detox drink. I put a scoop or two in my detox drink
