Turmeric-Blueberry Oatmeal with Flax

In Ayurveda, oats are said to increase vitality and are beneficial for the nervous system,
helping to relieve stress and tension. Their high silicon content supports the renewal of
all connective tissues and healthy arterial walls. Oats are soothing to the stomach and
intestines, and help lower cholesterol. Always favour organic rolled oats over the
quick-cooking variety (which lack prana).  

Ingredients:
● ⅔ cup rolled oats (can be soaked overnight)
● 1 ½ cups water
● 1 tsp turmeric powder
● ½ tsp ginger powder
● 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
● ¼ tsp ground cardamom
● black pepper
