Spices as medicines
While spices are generally used for flavoring food, other uses would be of the medicinal kind. Like cinnamon would aid in diabetes management or that fennel can be used as purgative. One of the most useful spices would be turmeric, which has been used as antiseptic for cuts, burns and bruises. A friend of mine suggested mixing turmeric and milk for acne treatment. Haven’t tried it yet, though.
Aside from cooking, what else do you use your spices for?
