I did this post a couple of days ago then last night realized I must have accidentally deleted it. ( arse ! )

I thought of Turmeric the other day as I had some inflamation in my back & hip and remembered how I used to put Turmeric in my tea when flair ups of imflamation occured. A teaspoon of turmeric into a cup of Chai tea twice a day was more effective and and better way of reducing discomfort than the taking of any anti inflamotory drugs prescribed for me by my GP. I am collecting some extract of turmeric from Napiers dispensary later today to try. The food extract has a 1:1 plant to liquid ratio so a couple of drops in water should work on the inflammation. I will report later in this post how it was.

Turmeric is a source of curcurmin ( turmeric extract, it has which has an earthy, bitter, peppery flavor and has a mustardy smell ) which is known to reduce inflammation amongst mant other health benefits including reversing the effects of Alzhemers, fighting osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and cancer.

Tumeric extract is also anti fungal, antiviral and anti bacterial.

The anti cancer agents in curcumin make it a hugely powerful chemopreventative.

So much to read up on & write about ,yet so little time this week, so this post will be expanded upon later.
