Believe it or not, common spices are actually some of the healthiest foods on the planet. Most of you have a spice rack filled with seasonings you use every day for cooking, but what do you know about their medicinal properties? According to Kelly M. Shattuck, a Certified Herbalist based in North Carolina, before health food stores made herbs such as Goldenseal and Echinacea readily available, people relied on culinary herbs in their kitchen to play a very important medicinal role in their lives.

Using herbs and spices for healing is really nothing new.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurvedic systems have recognized the healing and culinary benefits of spices for thousands of years. Some health benefits are unique to each spice, and others are shared among different spices. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Foods found a direct correlation between the antioxidant phenol content of many spices, and their ability to prevent heart disease and premature aging1. According to this study, the spices that have the most phenol are: cloves, cinnamon, allspice, oregano, marjoram, sage, thyme, tarragon, and rosemary.

Spices also help us digest food, detoxify our bodies, and keep our

hearts and minds active. They are not only great in meals for added flavor, but they also provide vitamins and minerals, and are key to the nutritional density in the foods you eat. Because of their nutrient density, they are thermogenic, meaning they naturally increase metabolism. Therefore, you can easily boost the nutritional value of your meals and metabolism by simply adding spices.

By the same token, spices can "upgrade" your meals by reducing

toxic compounds created during the cooking process. In a 2009 study by McCormick Company, it was demonstrated that adding an antioxidant-rich spice blend to meat prior to cooking reduced the level of malondialdehyde (a chemical marker for oxidation) in the meat by 71 percent, and resulted in a 49 percent reduction of this compound in

urine levels of the 11 participants.

Culinary Spices that Heal


The culinary and medicinal powers of winter spices have been known by herbalists for centuries. Science is now confirming what traditional me dicine has known all along – that spices such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cardamom and oregano have strong therapeutic effects.

When trying to stay healthy this winter, Instead of letting a cold

or the flu strike, fight back by reaching towards your kitchen instead of the medicine cabinet. Winter spices do much more than just add flavor to your pies and desserts. They also protect you from ailments doing the rounds this time of year. Boost your immune system and stay healthy by drinking home-made chai tea daily. Moreover, three cups of caffeine-free chai tea a day will provide you with the same amount of energy as one cup of coffee. This tea is made from various combinations of winter spices. It is a spicy, pungent drink made from some of the world's most medicinal winter spices. Its basic components include black tea, cinnamon, ginger, clove, cardamom and black pepper. These spices provide a rich source of antioxidants and nutrients that support digestion and immunity, balance blood sugar and combat inflammation. It has also been suggested that some of the spices in chai tea have anti-bacterial and anti-cancer effects.

Unfortunately, modern-day commercialized chai beverages tend to be sugar laden and more of a health threat than a health benefit. When buying prepared chai tea, pay attention to the ingredients on the labels, or better yet skip the coffee shop and make your own from scratch or using pre-mixed tea bags or Moongazing’s organic chai tea mix.

You really can't go wrong when using herbs and spices in cooking. Let your taste buds dictate your selection. You can also choose spices based on their medicinal benefits.

• To boost the Immune system: licorice, turmeric, black pepper,

oregano, dill, nutmeg, thyme

• Anti-inflammatories: turmeric, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, peppermint,

cinnamon, cardamom, dill, fennel, oregano, rosemary

Most ground spices begin to fade in flavor and medicinal properties after a few months, so it’s best to buy whole and grind as needed. Some herbs like cinnamon are somewhat tough, so you’ll need a sturdy spice grinder or fine grater. If your only option is to buy ground spices, try to find high quality ones made from organic spices.

Always buy organic herbs and spices. Herbs that are either organic or

wild crafted are at their peak of maturity and their concentration of active ingredients is highest, making them more effective than their counterparts. Organic herbs and spices are easy to find. They cost more, but not having pesticides, chemicals and irradiation exposure makes them completely worth it.

The following herbs and spices show particular promise for promoting good health.

Herb/Spice Health Benefits Notes

Fennel speeds up metabolism, aids digestion, increases iron absorption, is estrogenic (promotes estrogen production), excellent source of Vitamin C, anti-inflammatory.

Top-quality fennel seeds are yellow and tinged with green. Ground fennel starts to lose its flavor after six months, while whole fennel seeds keep for three years, so it’s best to buy whole and grind as needed.

Nutmeg Provides pain relief, soothes indigestion, improves cognitive function, detoxifies the body, boosts skin health, alleviates oral conditions, helps with insomnia, increases immune system function, helps prevent leukemia, improves blood circulation and brain health. Aphrodisiac.

Oregano Immune support, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, useful for respiratory infections.

Rosemary Rich in anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory, improves circulation and digestion, enhances memory and concentration, neurological protection, prevents brain aging, anti-cancer, protects against macular degeneration.

Supplies the body with over 80 essential mineral elements. Refined salt such as table salt has been stripped of all but two of these elements, and contains harmful additives such as aluminum silicate, a toxic chemical found in a UK study to be the primary cause of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Turmeric Anti-inflammatory, provides liver support, contains brain-protecting substances, boosts cognitive function, supports joint and muscle health, boosts detoxification, supports cardiovascular function, promotes healthy mood balance and healthy radiant skin, supports natural weight loss. Studies found that onions and turmeric synergistically work together, to protect against cancer.

Research shows that turmeric from Alleppey, India contains nearly two times more curcumin (its active ingredient) than any other turmeric. Turmeric is very hard to grind, and is therefore almost always sold already ground. Buy turmeric in a quantity you will use up in a few months. One problem with curcumin is that it's not easily absorbed. However, studies show that black pepper significantly enhances its bioavailability.

Use one teaspoon of dried herb or two tablespoons of fresh herb for each cup of water. There are 2 ways to make tea – infusions and decoctions. Infusions are for preparing teas containing the fragile parts of herbs and spices such as flowers, grasses and leaves. Bring two cups of water to a boil, remove from heat and place the spices in the water. You may place the herbs directly in the water or in a large muslin bag. Steep for at least 20 minutes. Decoction is used to break down more tenacious herb materials such as roots, bark, seeds, fruits and nuts. Bring water to a boil, add the spices, lower heat to a gentle simmer, and let brew for 20 minutes before turning off the heat. You may also soak tenacious herb materials overnight to soften them before simmering.

Be sure to strain before drinking.
