I find this very interesting, I use turmeric spice quite a lot and I drink ginger tea as well, but I have never heard that it was beneficial for my lupus, although my lupus is well controlled. I wonder
if this has any thing to do with it?

I used turmeric as a spice and as a tea for several months and had some pain relief, however, had a serious side effect. I have atrial tachycardia, and the turmeric increases my heart rate. So please use caution with turmeric or any other spice if you have a heart condition that affects your heart rhythm.

In order to make the Tumeric much more effective, you need to include black pepper. Black Pepper increases the value of the Tumeric.
First thing in the morning I drink this drink.

glass of warm water (4 oz)
1/4 tsp Tumeric
1 tbsp Organic Honey
1 tbsp Organic Lemon Juice
A pinch of Black Pepper
Be sure to stir well and at the half way point. The Tumeric settles quickly to the bottom.
I find this drink to be very helpful. It is also very healthy for you.
