Description

Promotes your immune system, joint function and digestion. 

By using black pepper and ginger to amplify the benefits of turmeric Spice of Life has made Strength a super-sized, super-spice. (Turmeric is often referred to as the super

spice because of its extremely wide ranging health benefits.) Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties not only reduce pain when you’ve pushed yourself to hard, they help promote healthy joint function.

The super spice’s effect of promoting healthy cell growth (strengthening the walls of your body’s cells), as well as its ability to slow unhealthy cell growth, enables Strength to improve the effectiveness of your immune system.

Your digestive system doesn’t get left out when it comes to the benefits of turmeric. Gas, bloating and indigestion can all be reduced by turmeric and regular consumption may reduce the chance of them happening in the first place.

Our Story

Spice of Life Founder Neil PembertonThe idea of making the vitality of spices more accessible to the average New Zealand consumer was a long time in the making…

It developed as a result of many trips to India – as well as studies in the areas of herbal medicine and aryvida practice. Seeing the benefits of a spicy diet in India, it seemed likely that the wellness of the average kiwi could be enhanced by applying the same principles.

We were not the first westerners to have that idea

Back in the eighth century, the famous king and conqueror, Charlemagne quipped: “Spices, the friend of physicians and the pride of cooks.” During his time spice was a major part of the economy across the world.

Now, in the twenty first century, ‘Spice of Life’ products combine complementary blended spices in gelatin capsules. As a result, our products enhance the effects of individual spices. The encapsulating process allows the spices to be taken without the need for processing through cooking. This is an excellent option for those with sensitive palates or an aversion to spices.

Knowing what we do about the benefits of spices, we felt we had no option other than to share them with others.

We originally produced our first capsules using a manual system that made only 20 capsules at a time. However, that original product proved so popular we quickly found ourselves struggling to keep up with demand!

As a result, the full ‘Spice of Life’ product range was born.

Ancient Formulas

using nature’s vitality to restore wellness

 

Spice blends based on Ancient Formulas …

The formulas used in these products are copied exactly from ancient palm leaf manuscripts. Namely, ‘Aphorisms on Medicine’ by Indian Guru Gorakshanath (also known as Gorakhnath). This is ancient knowledge of the medicinal power contained in the leaves, flowers, fruit and certain roots when they are mixed/blended in various synergistic combinations. These powerful health promoting Ancient Formulas are now available in Spice of Life products.

The oldest traditional treatment system…

The Siddha Science is the oldest traditional treatment system generated from Dravidian culture. The Siddha flourished in the period of Indus Valley Civilization. Palm Leaf Manuscripts say that the Siddha System was first described by Lord Shiva to his wife, Parvathi. Parvathi explored all this knowledge and taught it to her son, Lord Muruga. He in turn, taught his disciple, Sage Agasthya. Agasthya then taught 18 Siddhars who spread this knowledge far and wide.

“Siddha medicine” means medicine that is perfect…

Siddha medicine is claimed to revitalize and rejuvenate dysfunctional organs that cause the disease and to maintain the ratio of vata, pitta and kapha. The siddha medicines given to practitioners include leaves, flowers, fruit and various roots in a mixed or blended basis.

The ancients knew some amazing things…

The secret is in the knowing the perfect combinations of which ancient spices and other ingredients work powerfully and synergistically together to produce the best effect on the body. By following the ancient formulas ‘Spice of Life’ can offer products that are wonderfully effective at promoting health and vitality; yet, because they are virtually unknown in these formulations in this part of the world, are unlikely to be obtained anywhere else.

Turmeric

turmericThe health related benefits of Turmeric have been known in both India and China for the last 2000 years. Healers have used it to combat a wide range of illness ranging from digestion issues to depression; headaches to relieving congestion.

In the present day, turmeric has been found not only to slow the spread of many cancerous cells but to augment the effects of more mainstream treatments such as chemotherapy.

Turmeric’s active ingredient is called curcumin. Curcumin is such a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory there is almost no part of the body which doesn’t benefit from it.

Turmeric As A Preventive Solution

The list of ways in which turmeric has been proven effective is long: people suffering from circulatory system ailments such as high blood pressure and heart disease benefit from regular consumption of Turmeric; it is as effective as many anti-inflamatory medications – with no side effects; stomach and digestive complaints can be resolved as can chest colds and other congestion.

Of course preventing illness is a much better use of this amazing spice and that is why Spice of Life has used it in some products. The properties of turmeric that help reduce the effects of inflamation will promote healthy joint function. In the same way turmeric can strengthen your digestive, circulatory and immune systems.
