Turmeric is a spice we think about when it comes to food but what a lot of people do not know is that turmeric can be used
for a lot of medical problems. So many people are now turning to
alternative treatment when prescription drugs fail or people just decide that they do not want to use prescription drugs anymore and what people do not know is that people in differnet countries have been using these kind of spices for decades to cure the simplest thing. Here is a list of things that tumeric can treat:
1. Wounds - To help prevent bacterial wound infections sprinkle a bit on cuts and scrapes after they have throughly washed.
2. Digestion - Turmeric helps stimulate the flow of bile, which helps digest fats supporting the herbs traditional use as a digestive aid.
For an infusion to help aid digestion and possibly help promote heart health use 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder per cup of warm milk. Drink up to 3 cups a day. These infusions offer a measure of protection for the liver and help ease the inflammation of
arthritis. Turmeric tastes pleasantly aromatic, but in larger amounts it does taste bitter. Medicinal turmeric should not be given to children under 2 years old. For older children and poeple over 65 start with low strength prepartions and increase potency if necessary.
3. Arthritis - Several studies show that curcumin acts as an anti- flammatory, lending some credence to its traditional use in treating arthritis.
