3. Turmeric
Turmeric is an ingredient used to make golden milk in the Middle East and is known for its vast array of healing properties. Turmeric has been researched and has been noted for its anti-inflammatory properties. Strikingly enough turmeric also has anti-spasmodic properties and as such relaxes muscles, lymph tissues and reduces pain. Turmeric will speed up healing when consumed internally or when applied externally as a paste.
For unbearable pain, turmeric should ideally be mixed with milk. This golden milk mixture must be drunk twice a day. Turmeric paste is obtained by mixing at least two tablespoons of turmeric with a tablespoon of lime juice and a tiny bit of water. This paste can then be placed directly on the swollen area and closed off with a bandage. Leaving the thick paste on the infected area overnight works to heal the pain inflicted area better and faster. A heated thicker turmeric paste, when left on overnight, may lead to a speedier healing process.
