Last night I went to a class at [The Savory Spice Shop](http://savoryspiceshop.com "the savory spice shop") in downtown Denver on the healing properties of spices. It was based on the book, [_Healing Spices: How to Use 50 Everyday and Exotic Spices to Boost Health and Beat Disease_](http://www.amazon.com/dp/1402776632/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=lizoneandmore-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=1402776632&adid=048Q6HFBRKP9FN9FSCYZ "healing spices book") by Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD with Debora Yost.[![healing spices book by aggarwal](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51c5fmVs0iL._AA160_.jpg "healing spices book")

Taught by a graduate of the [Nutrition Therapy Institute](http://www.ntischool.com/ "nutrition therapy institute denver"), the class covered the healing properties of herbs such as turmeric, ginger, chiles, oregano, marjoram, mint, fennel, rosemary, cloves, celery seeds, juniper berries, true cinnamon, and cardamom.

When I got home, my husband asked me if I took over the class — he knows me too well! I felt myself blush and confessed that I _really_ tried not to, although I did offer the class my recipe for one of my stand-by herbal remedies: anti-inflammatory [turmeric milk](http://www.effortlesseating.com/2009/08/natures-anti-inflammatory-spice-turmeric/ "turmeric milk anti-inflammatory natural remedy")!
