Here are some ways to use turmeric as a preventative or curative medicine. Use raw tumeric if you can obtain it. If the raw turmeric taste is too much for you, use a high-quality turmeric powder instead.  

Turmeric tea

Make turmeric tea by grating or thinly slicing fresh turmeric root and steeping it in boiling water. Add a dash of ground black pepper to enhance curcumin absorption. I like it with ginger root and raw honey.

Golden milk

A warming drink made by with fresh turmeric, unsweetened almond or coconut milk that can be sweetened with raw honey or jaggery. Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth or a pinch nutmeg to help sleep.

Add fresh or powdered tumeric to hot or cold drinks. Use Ayurveda principles at home.

Smoothies, curries, dal

Grate fresh turmeric to your favourite recipe to get the potent prana unlocked and into your body.

Face mask

Mix grated turmeric root with manuka honey or yogurt. 

The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can help reduce skin conditions such as acne or eczema. Mix turmeric with coconut oil or fresh aloe vera gel can reduce skin inflammation.

Cough and cold and chest problems 

Add tumeric, cloves, cinamon bark and jaggery to water and boil for 10 minutes. Once cool enough, strain and drink during the day

Always make an Ayurveda Consultation to get treatment advice on specific uses of tumeric. Our Plymouth clinic can help provide you the necessary information on how you should be taking tumeric. An individualised approach to tumeric use will save time, money and disappointment.
