I used to take turmeric pills to keep my joints in good shape after training, but I can't say I noticed a difference.

I was told taking turmeric daily erases liver spots. Didn't.

Well at least we're not dead. So there's that, eh?

Yeah not being dead is a bonus lol

I read that the combination with milk makes it more powerful. The thing to remember with herbal remedies is you have to take them for quite some time before they start to kick in.

I didn't get a cold or flu for a long time so I must be doing something right. I hear that tumeric is helpful with coughs and colds...

It considered something too awesome in many countries so I had tried.

I am sure it's good for lots of things but there are so many things that are good - I am lost! How can I choose best one or 10 and stuff my body with it...until someone comes and says listen! There is that great thing I just found...

....because if you tune into your body, it will tell you what it needs...you need a quiet mind for that to work though

Turmeric is amazing.

I've been having the shittiest tasting cocktail every morning

-Warm water

-juice from half lemon

-turmeric

-Apple Cidar vinegar

Plus that nose and drink up

What is it supposed to do?

click to expand

It would act as a detox but also keep the acid alkaline levels in the body healthy. I drink lemon juice with bread soda to keep the aciditiy down

Libra may add to that

Please ensure the turmeric you buy isn't adulterated...

How would you tell?

Thank you x

If you can buy turmeric as a whole and get it powdered, it will be the best way to ensure it isn't adulterated.

Most often, turmeric is mixed with red oxide of lead. Intake of this turmeric is not good for the health. Or they add a dye called methanol yellow, when metabolized releases carcinogenic amines.

You can try the conc.HCl test

Turmeric powder + lol water+ conc.Hcl in a test tube - color changes to shades of pink, It is adulterated.

My mom used to buy turmeric as a root and would get it powdered :-)

In order for your body to better absorb nutrients cut out coffee and tea. Or else your just paying for really expensive pee.

Thanks Neptune.....I just saw a recipe for turmeric latte using coffee! Doesn't that defeat the object or would the turmeric overpower the coffee? Lol

But how about your new yellow stained teeth...? ๐Ÿ˜

Turmeric is incredible in that it actually WHITENS teeth! The thing is, one must be careful to find the balance and not exceed the recommended length for allowing tumeric paste to stay on the teeth for too long. That's when it goes from whiting to staining.

I recommended tumeric ro my co-worker who limos around due to a past knee injury. He claims it's helped him immensely.

Not too sure, I just know caffeine inhibits your bodies ability to absorb minerals/nutrients/etc.

Word of caution, I'd start by taking only a small amount of turmeric or anything new your adding to your diet. You want to make sure your not allergic or it fucks with your body.

Thanks Lilly ๐Ÿ™‚

I tried it...mixed with baking soda and coconut oil...i was amazed that i saw a difference after only one application!

India has always been so more far advanced than the West with their knowledge of the healing properties of spices and herbs. They must laugh their socks off at the pill popping, addicted, brainwashed foolish West, wrecking their bodies and making the drug companies richer

I am trying this from tonight before bed.....my natural doc talks about the huge benefits of turmeric, so will give it a blast.

Its good for cough and cold. Milk should be avoided when you have cough but when you add turmeric (and boil) it becomes beneficial .

Just for your information , turmeric increases body heat so consider your body type before making it regular .

Turmeric is good antiseptic too and also benefits skin .

Take turmeric with extra virgin olive oil and black pepper. Itโ€™s been said to increase effectiveness of turmeric by as much as 2000% ! (that is a cut and paste form a site). I had a friend take a shot of this everyday for his back. He had major back problems. He is not cured and can ride a bmx at close to 40 years old now. ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you for this. Did you mean to say he is now cured?

I have a mix of turmeric, black pepper and other stuff and took it in milk, so its similar
