Methods of protection against diseases such as cold, flu and flu that affect the winter season are being researched. Agricultural Engineer Mete Eltepe, who has been working as a herbalist for years in the historical Kemeraltı Çaşısı in İzmir’s Konak district, made some suggestions to overcome the diseases that occur during the winter months more quickly and to have a healthy winter.
PROTECTS FROM MANY DISEASES
Stating that spices are very effective in protecting against many diseases and increasing body resistance, Eltepe said, “As you know, the winter months are coming, the weather has started to get colder and supplements are needed to keep the body vigorous during this period. We have been processing these products in Kemeraltı for years. The spice mixture product provides protection against cough, flu, cold and many diseases. The spice mixture includes black cumin, turmeric, black pepper, a little sweet pepper powder, hot pepper powder and ginger. You can consume this mixture with honey, yoghurt or hot water. “It is taken in the morning on an empty stomach when starting the day,” he said. Expressing that these spices are protective against microbes and very rich in vitamin C, Eltepe said, “Black seed is very important. Since it contains thymoquinone, it is also good for cardiovascular health. Black pepper is a spice that also activates turmeric. “Powdered hot pepper, ginger and sumac, which are antimicrobial and rich in vitamin C. Do not miss these 6 spices,” he said.
CHILDREN CAN ALSO CONSUME
Stating that this mixture will be enjoyed by primary school children especially when mixed with honey, Eltepe said: “Make this mixture I have described and keep it ready in a jar. Once you are sure you have mixed it well, put about a teaspoon of it into another bowl and mix it with yoghurt, either honey or hot water. Consume this directly on an empty stomach. Black cumin, turmeric, black pepper, powdered hot pepper, ginger and sumac. These are all useful products. Mix small amounts of all of these, add less black pepper and hot pepper. “The most amount of turmeric will be added to this mixture,” he said.
“WE SEE THE BENEFITS”
Stating that he used the mixture and saw its benefits, citizen Osman Yıldız said, “Whether it is flu, illness or cold, we see the benefits when we come and buy the mixture from here. We see a lot of benefit. “So I recommend it to everyone,” he said.
