Why Yogis Love Turmeric and Neem: Ancient Herbs for Modern Wellbeing
For centuries, turmeric and neem have been treasured in yoga and spiritual traditions for their unique qualities and gentle support of overall well-being. Today, these herbs are gaining renewed attention among the UK yoga community, not just for their rich heritage but for their role in modern natural routines. But what makes turmeric and neem so special for yogis?
Rooted in Tradition
Both turmeric and neem have deep roots in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of wellness. Traditionally, these herbs are used as part of daily rituals to promote balance, clarity, and a sense of inner harmony. Many spiritual teachers, including Satguru, recommend incorporating them into your morning routine, especially for those practising yoga or meditation.
Turmeric: The Golden Spice of Well-being
Known for its earthy flavour and vibrant colour, turmeric is celebrated in yogic circles for its role in supporting a balanced lifestyle. In Ayurveda, turmeric is thought to encourage clarity and a calm mind—qualities valued by anyone on a spiritual path. Many choose turmeric as part of their daily supplement routine, especially when seeking natural, organic options.
Neem: Nature’s Purifier
Neem, often called “nature’s purifier,” is another favourite among those who practise yoga and mindful living. Traditionally, neem is used to support balance and help maintain a sense of well-being. Its naturally bitter taste is a sign of its potency, and when combined with turmeric, it’s considered a powerful duo for those following holistic and yogic lifestyles.
How Yogis Use Turmeric and Neem
In many yoga traditions, these herbs are taken together, often first thing in the morning, with warm water. This practice is believed to support the body as part of a natural, well-being routine, helping yogis start their day with clarity and focus. While we avoid making medicinal claims, it’s clear that these herbs hold a special place in the hearts of many in the yoga community.
