This is my go-to version. Tumeric and cinnamon are reported to have anti-inflammatory properties. These days, I’m all about reducing inflammation. Eczema-like flares on my arms and torso have been a constant since taking all those meds back in May for Bell’s Palsy. Once the itching starts, it’s almost impossible to stop it without a Benadryl. I cut my beloved Diet Coke completely out over a week ago. Definite improvement, but the dry-out stage for the dermatitis involves lots of scaling and that is REALLY itchy.
Recipe yields enough to fill a regular coffee mug.
1 c. milk of your choice (I use regular 2% milk, but use nondairy milk, if desired)
1/2 tsp ground tumeric
pinch of black pepper
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 tbsp maple syrup
Mix all ingredients in 1 quart saucepan. Bring to a slow boil on medium heat. Turn down lowest heat setting and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. Pour into mug and enjoy.
