    Turmeric Cures and Miracle Health Benefits

    Turmeric Cures and Miracle Health Benefits

    Turmeric is the only "healing" herb that I know of that Western medicine takes seriously for its cardiovascular health benefits. I would disregard the title as overselling.

    Turmeric is the powerhouse of natural remedies. Regular use of turmeric has been found to reduce the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease and may play a role in its treatment. It is also being studied as a natural remedy for arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and similar conditions, as it has anti-inflammatory
    characteristics
    . Turmeric is also an effective remedy for skin conditions like cystic acne, boils, hidradenitis suppurativa and MRSA.

    Your grandmother probably had a tiny tin of the spice turmeric in her cupboard to use when canning pickles to add some color. Yes, turmeric does make an excellent dye, but that is among the least of its amazing uses!


    Turmeric is in the ginger family. The root is the part of the plant typically used. It is a bright orange color with a somewhat earthy and bitter taste. It can be easily found in the spice section of your grocery store. But you will likely get a better price and quality if you buy it in bulk at a local Indian market or health food store.


    The simplest way to take turmeric of course is by capsule and you can find some excellent brands of turmeric curcumin online.


    Turmeric contains nutrients like potassium, vitamin B-6, magnesium and vitamin C. But what really makes turmeric shine is its anti-inflammatory effect, which comes from the curcumin in turmeric.
    Ten Reasons to Take Turmeric
    Bolded: the anti-inflammatory effects are likely the main reason it is so good for your health.

    Now that the weather is cooling it's easier for me to incorporate ginger and turmeric into my diet. I make an herbal tea out of both. With turmeric you have to be careful if you are prone to kidney stones. It might be better to avoid it altogether in that case and use ginger instead.

    Thanks for the kidney stone tip. I had not heard that before.

    I have used turmeric in moderation before. I may buy a container today. I have to do my grocery shopping after I hit the gym. The market is right next door. May as well get some ginger root too.

    I am heading to the gym too. I may also stop by Giant to pick up a few things I forgot on my Saturday run.

    I should cook with turmeric more. I take it as a daily supplement.

    The supplement is convenient and probably more effective because to get a sufficient dose from the spice you really have to be consistent.

    That and the supplement that I get uses the curcumin from the turmeric. That is supposed to be the ingredient that conveys most of the health benefits.

    Yeah, that's what I mean. In the powder you aren't getting anywhere near as much but I wonder if the bioavailability is higher in the spice.

    You are starting to see that in supplement marketing- our product is better because we tweaked it for bioavailability.

    I do take D3 with K2 and magnesium for that reason.

    Most people don't even meet the RDA for Magnesium from their diet. I eat a lot of legumes and whole grains, which are high in magnesium, but it's in my protein powder too and that's probably a good thing.
