The positive effects of spices and spice blends
The healing properties of spices and spice blends are now widely recognised, and not just in naturopathy. In China and India, for example, spices and spice blends have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. This is because the essential oils contained in spices contain plant components that have health-promoting effects.

However, the amounts that people consume in their daily diet through kitchen spices are not sufficient to achieve a healing effect, so special spices must be consumed in addition to achieve noticeable results. When selecting the right spice for the respective ailments or sensitivities, knowledge of the respective healing effects is necessary to avoid excessive or incorrect consumption.
Which spice has which healing effect?
The following list reflects some distinctive spices and their healing effects:
Aniseed: helps with digestive problems
Bitter orange: stimulates the appetite
Chilli: stimulates the cardiovascular system
Fennel: helps with stomach problems
Guarana: has an invigorating and stimulating effect
Ginger: relieves nausea and colds
Garlic: lowers blood pressure
Lemon balm: has a calming effect
Cloves: aphrodisiac effect
Pepper: stimulates digestion

The listed effects of the individual spices are not exhaustive, as each spice has multiple effects and can therefore be used in different ways. Garlic, for example, is not only effective for high blood pressure, but is also frequently used in herbal medicine to treat colds.
