A trending winter kitchen mix

A blend of turmeric, fenugreek (methi) and dry ginger (saunth) powders is being widely shared as a winter joint-comfort mix. All three are kitchen spices, but the mix is a traditional food habit and not a proven treatment for joint pain.

Mix equal parts of each powder, store in a dry jar and take half a teaspoon with lukewarm water after a meal. Do not exceed this. Persistent joint pain needs a doctor.
