What Is Cream Of Tartar?
Cream of tartar is a powder also known as potassium hydrogen tartrate in the chemical circles. It’s the sediment that comes from the bottom of a wine barrel. However, it doesn’t contain any alcohol, so don’t worry.
Here are just some of its amazing benefits:
Quit Smoking
Cream of tartar will not only help you remove nicotine from your body, but it will also make you dislike the taste of cigarettes. For everyone who is trying to quit smoking, the best way to consume cream of tartar is when it’s mixed with freshly squeezed orange juice.
Reduces Arthritis Pain
Magnesium modulates cellular events involved in the process of inflammation, and 100 gr of Cream of Tartar contain two milligrams of this mineral. This means that Cream of Tartar is beneficial for arthritis patients.
To reduce your arthritis pain, soak in a bath with three tablespoons of Epsom salt, and two tablespoons of Cream of Tartar for about half an hour, once or twice a day. If you feel your arthritis pain at a specific part of your body, soak that part in a bucket filled with water and half the amount of Epsom salt and Cream of Tartar needed for the bath.
Relieves Urinary Tract Infection
Cream of Tartar is said to change the pH levels of the urine, thus relieving urinary tract infections. It creates an environment that destroys the bacteria that causes your infection. For this purpose, add 1 ½ teaspoons of Cream of Tartar in a cup of warm water. Mix, and add several drops of lemon juice. Consume once or twice a day.
Reduce Arthritis Pain
100 grams of cream of tartar contains 2 milligrams of magnesium – a compound which Dr. Sircus says “modulates cellular events involved in inflammation.” In other words, if you suffer from arthritis you will love cream of tartar.
Mixing 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar with 3 tablespoons of Epsom salt to create a bath. Soak in this for 30-40 minutes once or twice daily.
If your arthritis pain is localized, cut the cream of tartar and Epsom salt quantity in half and use a bucket instead.
Clear Acne
Theodora Penny packer a writer for Leaf.tv says: “cream of tartar’s acidic properties makes it a great acne-fighting, cleaning agent for your skin. You don’t apply the cream directly to your face, though. Rather, you create a drink with 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar and 8 ounces of water or orange juice.”
Make sure you drink this mixture every day and gradually it will help you flush out all the toxins and bacteria which are the root cause of your skin problem.
Reduce Blood Pressure
If you’ve got lower than normal potassium levels – which many people do – that increases your likelihood of developing high blood pressure problems. Luckily, cream of tartar can take care of that too!
100 grams of cream of tartar contains a whopping 16,500 milligrams of potassium.
If you’ve got high blood pressure problems, begin by checking with your doctor to see if a potassium deficiency is indeed the cause. If so, take 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar and mix it with a glass of water. Drink nightly.
