If you’re wanting to relieve chronic inflammation, get rid of migraines and sore achey joints, then this ginger limeade recipe is just what you need.
The main ingredient in this ginger limeade recipe is of course, the ginger. Ginger contains anti-inflammatory compounds called ginger’s, which offer free radical protection and inhibit nitric oxide production. Normally, nitric oxide build-up forms damaging free radicals called peroxynitrites that exacerbate inflammation in the body.
Chronic inflammation is also very easily relieved by turmeric, whose anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects have been equated with that of popular pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin, Ibuprofen and hydrocortisone. When you get rid of inflammation in the body, you also subsequently get rid of pain, which means less pain in your bones and joints.
This drink also helps alleviate migraines – just 1/8th of a teaspoon of powdered ginger found to work as well as the migraine headache drug sumatriptan (Imitrex) without the side-effects!

Any suggestions for inflammation. From bursitis in hip?
Lots of turmeric, lots of ginger.
Is there a way to make this to last a weak? also does this also detox at the same time? I mostly want to use it for migraines but I am looking to detox some
It definitely can be made in bulk! That is, if you have room in your fridge 🙂 – and yes, this acts as a gentle detox, ginger and limes are great for achieving that.
I am very excited to try this recipe however mine does not look like the picture which is probably due to the turmeric. I am wondering how much of this should be drank to get the results for all of the mentioned troubles?
Yes, turmeric will definitely turn it a different colour! If you’re dealing with lots of inflammation, I’d say drink this once a day 🙂
Can you use turmeric powder instead of whoy turmeric?
Yes!
Does this help with severe neuropathy pain?
It will help reduce some of the inflammatory response – each body is different. I’d say give it a try!
Cant wait to read your free book with recipes. I’ve just been diagnosed with SIBO, a beast! Are you family with SIBO? Do you have any suggestions for healing? I’m doing the FODMOP diet, xifaxan, neem, berberdine, altraniam and oregano. Thanks
Hi Nina – I am aware of those diets. I know what worked for me, and that was staying away from inflammatory foods!
