Do you often feel tired, a bit bloated or just listless without knowing exactly why? You are certainly not alone. So many women (and men too!) walk around with these kinds of vague complaints. Things that you often just brush aside or have come to consider 'normal'.

But what if I told you that it doesn't have to be normal at all? Very often, these kinds of signals can be traced back to something that we rarely really think about: low-grade inflammation. You don't always notice these dormant inflammations right away, but in the long term they can really take a toll on your energy, your focus and even your resistance.

The good news? There are natural ways to support your body, and they don’t have to be complicated. Think powerful herbs like turmeric and ginger. By incorporating them into your daily routine (like in your tea or latte), you’ll give your body a gentle but effective reset.

Suffering from vague complaints? This is how you recognize (and reduce) low-grade inflammation

When we think of inflammation, we often immediately think of something negative. But did you know that inflammation is primarily a natural defense reaction of your body? For example, after an injury or infection, inflammation ensures that your body can heal.

However, there is another type of inflammation that we do need to be alert to: low-grade or chronic inflammation . These remain in your body for a long time, often without you noticing them right away. They are often caused by daily factors such as unhealthy diet, stress, lack of sleep and alcohol . And although you do not feel it right away, they can seriously undermine your health in the long term, with risks including reduced resistance, fatigue or even chronic diseases.

💡 The good news? You can actually do something about this.
Did you know that spices like turmeric and ginger have been used for centuries as powerful, natural anti-inflammatories? They’re easy to add to your daily routine, like with a warming cup of ginger or Spoon Moment turmeric tea. Whether you mix it up or stick to one favorite, it’s all about small, conscious choices.

But that's not all. Other simple adjustments that help reduce inflammation include:

🥬 Eat more fruits and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables , broccoli , cauliflower and blueberries are rich in antioxidants.
🌾 Choose whole grain products, they contain a lot of fiber which is good for your intestines and your inflammation level.
😴 Sufficient sleep , less stress and some exercise every day complete the picture.

👉 It doesn’t have to be big or complicated. Start with small steps, like a cup of tea in the morning or an extra handful of spinach in your lunch. Your body will thank you and you will start to feel the difference.

Why Turmeric and Ginger Are So Powerful

Ginger and turmeric have been well-known ingredients in Ayurvedic and Eastern medicine for centuries for their powerful anti-inflammatory properties. But what makes this tea so effective?

Why ginger tea is the natural remedy for a bloated stomach & painful joints

Do you ever have that bloated feeling after eating? Or do you sometimes feel a bit tighter in your joints than you would like? Then I really want to recommend something that makes me very happy: ginger tea. Not only because it is tasty, but also because it really does something for your body.

Ginger has been used for centuries to treat nausea and digestive issues. But what few people know (and which I only recently learned myself) is that ginger is also a natural anti-inflammatory. This is due to powerful phytonutrients like gingerol and shogaol that help reduce inflammation in your body. Studies show that ginger is not only effective against “normal” inflammation, but also against chronic inflammation, such as that caused by arthritis, headaches, and stomach problems ( 1 ).

👉 The best time to drink ginger tea? 

In the morning to get your digestion going, or right after a heavy meal. It not only provides relief for your stomach, but also gives you a calm moment for yourself. Win-win!

Why Turmeric Tea Should Be Your Daily Anti-Inflammatory Boost

Turmeric has been known for centuries as a powerful medicinal herb. Modern science confirms this reputation: the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Research shows that curcumin is able to block certain inflammatory substances in the body, making it particularly effective for both acute and chronic inflammation. ( 2 ).

What makes turmeric so interesting is its versatile effect. It helps with, among other things:

• reducing joint pain.

• stabilizing blood sugar levels.

• supporting the immune system.

• improving the skin condition, for example in case of acne and redness.
  

In addition, turmeric also works as a natural pain reliever. For many people, it is a healthier alternative to regular pain relievers such as ibuprofen. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects also make it suitable for people who want to work on their overall well-being in a natural way ( 3 ).

An important point to know: curcumin is not naturally easily absorbed by the body . That’s why we always recommend combining it with a pinch of black pepper – something we at Spoon Moment include in our Turmeric Spoons as standard. That way, you’ll get the most out of every cup of tea or latte.

👉 When is the best time to drink turmeric tea? 

In the evening it is ideal. Turmeric has a relaxing effect and supports your body during the nightly recovery processes. Do you suffer from stiff muscles, joints or even an unsettled skin? Then a warm cup of turmeric tea is a natural and pleasant choice. The anti-inflammatory effect of turmeric helps your body to relax from the inside and outside.
