Re: Benefits of Turmeric
I've used haldi in face masks but other than that ...i hvnt paid attention to its effects.
One thing I have noticed is that if you have a cut...apply honey to it....and cover with a bandaid, a d it defo heals faster than just bandaid alone. Within a few hours or after one day you'll see the cut is patched up.
Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric is definitely being touted as the next wonder herb. After reading its numerous benefits I started drinking tea made out of fresh haldi root (it is from the ginger family) and ginger. I cut up ginger and turmeric and add a number of spices and drink this tea everyday if possible. This prevents inflammation. Great stuff and best thing is it doesn't have side effects but rather side benefits.
Re: Benefits of Turmeric
^fresh haldi is better than processed one that we used for every day cooking. so i went to ENT he said that i have inflammation as I complained to him of cough and throat irritation. so i started using fresh haldi for like 2 months, i noticed it became worst irritation of using fresh haldi don't know why but when i stopped for 2 weeks i still have on and off cough but no throat irritation.
Re: Benefits of Turmeric
I'm still going strong on the 1000 mg of Curcumin every day.
I truly do notice the difference if I don't take it. Alhamdulillah, unlike others I know, I have not been put on any sort of arthritis medication thanks to this.
Re: Benefits of Turmeric
so help me to get this right. Curcumin is the plant or the root that looks like ginger, but haldi or turmeric is the powder that we use in our foods right ?
Re: Benefits of Turmeric
Here is the answer to your question:
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Curcumin is a component of the Indian spice turmeric (Curcumin longa), a type of ginger. Curcumin is one of three curcuminoids present in turmeric, the other two being desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin. These curcuminoids give turmeric its yellow color and curcumin is used as a yellow food colorant and food additive.
Curcumin is obtained from the dried rhizome of the turmeric plant, which is a perennial herb that is cultivated extensively in south and southeast Asia. The rhizome or the root is processed to form turmeric which contains 2% to 5% curcumin.

Re: Benefits of Turmeric
And here is some more advice:
I frequently recommend turmeric supplements, and I believe whole turmeric is more effective than isolated curcumin for inflammatory disorders, including arthritis, tendonitis, and autoimmune conditions. Take 400 to 600 milligrams of turmeric extracts (available in tablets or capsules) three times per day or as directed on the product label. Look for products standardized for 95% curcuminoids. Neither curcumin nor turmeric taken orally is well absorbed unless taken with black pepper or piperine, a constituent of black pepper responsible for its pungency. When shopping for supplements, make sure that the one you choose contains black pepper extract or piperine. (If you’re cooking with turmeric, be sure to add some black pepper to the food.). Be patient when taking turmeric supplements: the full benefits may not be apparent for eight weeks.

I am always looking for supplements for my mom's joint pain...she has arthritis.
