Natural Health Tip - Take True Tumeric
By Gary Scott
Last message showed the benefits of ginger and turmeric. Turmeric
is much more than curry flavoring! Don't buy the stuff from the local Asian
store. Chances are it is mostly chalk or talcum powder with food coloring.
Make sure you get pure, organic turmeric. If you are not used to its taste,
start with very small quantities. Turmeric is a liver purifier and can be quite
intense if taken in large quantities. Always use it cooked in vegetables or
with milk or beans and rice. Don't eat it raw.
Turmeric is also an immune system enhancer and in combination
with cinnamon in a bit of organic whole milk can dramatically boost the immune
system. It is also bacteriostatic and excellent for all kinds of skin problems
though it does leave a stain. You can gargle with it in a bit of warm water
for getting rid of or prevent a sore throat. In ayurvedic terms turmeric is
one of the divine herbs and to be categorized this way has at least 108 different
balancing applications.
Vaidya K.S. Mishra is a master healer in the eight
avenues of ayurvedic healing and will help us learn how to use turmeric at
our June 16-17-18 course here at the farm. He is a healer with immense healing
knowledge to share. This course will be an experience that immerses you in
