Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 small red onion
- 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder
- Optional: A pinch of black pepper (to enhance the absorption of curcumin from turmeric)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Onion: Peel and finely chop the red onion. You might want to use a food processor for a finer texture, which is easier to blend and consume.
- Mash the Banana: In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. The softer the banana, the creamier the texture.
- Mix Ingredients: Combine the mashed banana, chopped red onion, and turmeric powder in the bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well integrated. Adding a pinch of black pepper can increase the bioavailability of curcumin, making the mixture more potent.
- Serving: Consume the mixture as it is, or if the flavor is too strong, you can blend these ingredients with a bit of water or juice to make a smoothie.
Consumption Tips:
- Best Time to Consume: This blend might be best consumed in the morning or early in the day, as it’s energizing and can start your day on a positive, healthful note.
- Frequency: Depending on the severity of the pain, this can be taken daily. However, it’s essential to monitor the body’s response and adjust the frequency accordingly.
Caution:
While this remedy is natural and beneficial for many, it’s always important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment, especially if you or your mom are taking medications or have underlying health conditions. This ensures that the remedy won’t interfere with other treatments and is safe to use given her health history.
