Turmeric

[Guest guest]

Hi e:

The numbers are correct. You should have plugged it into the message

# search box next to the regular message search box.

Here's the relevant bit from Sept. 29, 06:

>Hi Ayala:

>I've always found that turmeric, diluted way down, has a beautiful

powdery

>note to it.

The subject was, believe it or not, Carnation absolute.

The second one was from 11/11/05, under Earth and Soil scents:

>I've

>always felt that turmeric root is like an earthy 's baby

powder (for

>those in the US who know this scent.)

>' present format seems really screwed up to me. I can't

>get the continuous flow of messages, not separated by topic, that I

>used to be able to get. ..

Liz may know how to fix this -- she in the UK, so won't be able to

respond until tomorrow.

Hi Anya,

Thanks for your trouble. I assumed the nos. were correct -it's just

that I did not see an insert box for message numbers anywhere - as I

used to - and so put them the regular search box where they came up as

a topic.

In any case, thank you for taking the time to reproduce your past

messages which were very interesting to me - so, aha!, you'd noticed

this about turmeric, too.

As far as diluting way down, the longer I work with scents, the more

I discover cases in which I want to dilute something way down.

Thanks also for responding to my trouble in getting the continuous

messages.

Okay, the fibromyalgia thread has me googling turmeric now.  I'm

hoping that we're not getting too off-topic though.  Is it okay to

continue the discussion of this (I'm sure we could prepare a

turmeric mixture in a vitamix, couldn't we?)  I've got a few

questions/thoughts about it.  Perhaps someone has already researched

these things or has some ideas about it???

A "tea" is often suggested which is turmeric, almond oil and milk,

with something to sweeten.  I have two questions about this.

First, is the milk there for any reason other then a carrier?  Does

anyone know if there are properties in the milk that are suppose to

interact with the turmeric?  I'm asking because I'm non-dairy, and

I'm wondering about using soy milk or a nut milk of some sort.

Secondly, I don't fancy adding fat to something, even if it is a

healthy oil.  I am trying to wean myself off oils - looking to get

my fat from the unprocessed source, such as nuts and avocado.  So

can I leave the oil out, or is it really necessary?  As an

alternative, could I make this with turmeric and almond milk,

thereby getting some natural almond oil I expect (don't know how

much of the oil is in almond milk, but I expect a bit would be

there)?

Now, not related to the tea but generally re turmeric - I've read

that it shouldn't be used by ... some groups of people - as with all

things (was it people with ulcers, on certain medications, etc). 

Then separately the articals say that turmeric can stop platelets

clumping as much.  It usually says that when it's talking about

medicine contraindications rather then who can't use it.  If someone

has a condition where they were sometimes low on platelet, would it

be advisable to avoid turmeric?  Or do you think it would be fine as

long as you don't overdo it.  I know that this is a very specific

medical question that should probably be asked of a doctor, but just

throwing it out there incase someone has had any experience of

this.  I was amazed at how many people already knew about various

benefits of turmeric and were using it!

Actually, I wondering if you'd get the health benefits by putting

fresh or powdered turmeric into the morning smoothie?  And would it

stain the vitamix jug?

I'm interested in any further comments/suggestions re benefits/use

of turmeric.

Lea Ann, is this taking the off topic discussion just a bit too far?

Hello Fiona,Not at all too far off topic because many of us are interested in health. I am a big fan of making the subject line as clear as possible (change it when the topic shifts) that way people can delete the email unread if they are not interested. It is also good to leave part of the old subject line there so that people who's email program sorts by subject can see how the old thread connects with the new one if they want to.I think the milk is there to be the fat. Some people put it in their eggs (the yolk has fat). I also read that pepper helps with absorption.Of course I don't have medical knowledge, but I "think" the contraindications are because the turmeric does what the medicines do (prevent clumping) and it would be like getting a double dose and you could end up with your blood "too" thin. The same with the blood glucose lowering properties of turmeric - if someone was on meds that lowered blood glucose it could go too low.Turmeric helps lower blood glucose: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11855620Turmeric helps "unclump" blood :-) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10484074It could stain the Vitamix jug but I don't know because I don't want to find out :-) Before I read up on Turmeric I was consuming the powder plain and swishing it down with water and although it might have been a placebo effect, I didn't feel as sore as I normally would have after my set-up day.I can tell you that I am THRILLED that I went through a whole show without taking ANY Ibuprofen. My Ibuprofen days are now through! Over the course of this 5-day show I worked out the system that worked best for me. In the morning I formed a paste of heavy cream (probably only a tbs.) and a heaping tsp of Turmeric, some pepper and some stevia for taste. I stored this paste in a glass shot glass and just dipped into the paste over the course of the day until it was gone. I won't take much (if any) between shows because I don't feel stiff and sore between shows and this will give my body a break - I was consuming more than the recommended 1 tsp. of Turmeric per day during the show.

I wish the "apple cider cure" worked for me (and I've tried it off and on). I get a yeast reaction. I feel better when I'm on apple cider vinegar (more energy, less hunger) but then I get the yeasty rash can can't keep it up :-(

I think I need to try the apple cider vinegar and the tumeric. Maybe I could put the apple cider vinegar on my fries, I am just kidding because then I would have to have the fries every day and that would be really bad!

I was joking that I could use it as an excuse to eat the fries because I would be putting the apple cider vinegar on for medicinal purposes. I have a lot of aches and pains, a lot of broken bones in my past TNTC, including two metal plates holding my lower arm together. Some times physical activity can get you in trouble. Did I say I broke all my own horses/ponies but failed to mention that sometimes they broke me.

how the old thread connects with the new one if they

want to.

I think the milk is there to be the fat.  Some

people put it in their eggs (the yolk has fat).  I

also read that pepper helps with absorption.

Of course I don't have medical knowledge, but I

"think" the contraindications are because the turmeric

does what the medicines do (prevent clumping) and it

would be like getting a double dose and you could end

up with your blood "too" thin.  The same with the

blood glucose lowering properties of turmeric - if

someone was on meds that lowered blood glucose it

could go too low.

Turmeric helps lower blood glucose:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11855620

Turmeric helps "unclump" blood :-)  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10484074

It could stain the Vitamix jug but I don't know

because I don't want to find out :-)  Before I read up

on Turmeric I was consuming the powder plain and

swishing it down with water and although it might have

been a placebo effect, I didn't feel as sore as I

normally would have after my set-up day.

I can tell you that I am THRILLED that I went

through a whole show without taking ANY Ibuprofen.  My

Ibuprofen days are now through!  Over the course of

this 5-day show I worked out the system that worked

best for me.  In the morning I formed a paste of heavy

cream (probably only a tbs.) and a heaping tsp of

Turmeric, some pepper and some stevia for taste.  I

stored this paste in a glass shot glass and just

dipped into the paste over the course of the day until

it was gone.  I won't take much (if any) between shows

because I don't feel stiff and sore between shows and

this will give my body a break - I was consuming more

than the recommended 1 tsp. of Turmeric per day during

the show.

Yes-your best choice is raw apple cider vinegar, which comes with the "mother", which is basically a cloudy mass in the bottom of the bottle. Clear apple cider vinegar has been heat processed and won't have the same benefits. Any health food store should have a selection. I use Braggs, only because it is readily available, not because I have any particular affinity to that brand.

Oh, I figured you were kidding.

I actually broke a small horse at summer camp when I was going on 11. I was able to do this because the counselors were idiots who believed me when I told them I'd done it before (bear in mind that I looked about 8). Her name was Ginger and to my credit, I was never thrown, no matter how violently she bucked and reared (fortunately, it never occurred to her to try rolling around).

I was once told by a fellow martial artist that I possessed more spirit than brains; he probably sized me up pretty well.

It could stain the Vitamix jug but I don't know because I don't want to find out :-) Before I read up on Turmeric I was consuming the powder plain and swishing it down with water and although it might have been a placebo effect, I didn't feel as sore as I normally would have after my set-up day.

I can tell you that I am THRILLED that I went through a whole show without taking ANY Ibuprofen. My Ibuprofen days are now through! Over the course of this 5-day show I worked out the system that worked best for me. In the morning I formed a paste of heavy cream (probably only a tbs.) and a heaping tsp of Turmeric, some pepper and some stevia for taste. I stored this paste in a glass shot glass and just dipped into the paste over the course of the day until it was gone. I won't take much (if any) between shows because I don't feel stiff and sore between shows and this will give my body a break - I was consuming more than the recommended 1 tsp. of Turmeric per day during the show.

Perhaps someone has already researched these things or has some ideas about it???

A "tea" is often suggested which is turmeric, almond oil and milk, with something to sweeten. I have two questions about this.

First, is the milk there for any reason other then a carrier? Does anyone know if there are properties in the milk that are suppose to interact with the turmeric? I'm asking because I'm non-dairy, and I'm wondering about using soy milk or a nut milk of some sort.

Secondly, I don't fancy adding fat to something, even if it is a healthy oil. I am trying to wean myself off oils - looking to get my fat from the unprocessed source, such as nuts and avocado. So can I leave the oil out, or is it really necessary? As an alternative, could I make this with turmeric and almond milk, thereby getting some natural almond oil I expect (don't know how much of the oil is in almond milk, but I expect a bit would be there)?

Now, not related to the tea but generally re turmeric - I've read that it shouldn't be used by ... some groups of people - as with all things (was it people with ulcers, on certain medications, etc). Then separately the articals say that turmeric can stop platelets clumping as much. It usually says that when it's talking about medicine contraindications rather then who can't use it. If someone has a condition where they were sometimes low on platelet, would it be advisable to avoid turmeric? Or do you think it would be fine as long as you don't overdo it. I know that this is a very specific medical question that should probably be asked of a doctor, but just throwing it out there incase someone has had any experience of this. I was amazed at how many people already knew about various benefits of turmeric and were using it!

Actually, I wondering if you'd get the health benefits by putting fresh or powdered turmeric into the morning smoothie? And would it stain the vitamix jug?

I'm interested in any further comments/suggestions re benefits/use of turmeric.

Lea Ann, is this taking the off topic discussion just a bit too far?

i am so sorry to hear that. it has truly stopped my pain. and my husband's. he didn't try it for 18 mos. because he is male and very stubborn. please, no offense to males. that's just my husband. anyway, last summer he asked me how long it took for the vinegar to work? shocked i asked why and he told me of this pain in his elbow. he too has been on celebrex for about 8 years. it helps a ton but nothing like the vinegar does. anyway, he is now telling all of his golf cronies about it. he is pain free. crazy. maybe try calling the 800 number on dr. bragg's bottle and see if they have any adivce. good luck. bonnie

Re: Turmeric

Hello Fiona,

Not at all too far off topic because many of us are interested in health. I am a big fan of making the subject line as clear as possible (change it when the topic shifts) that way people can delete the email unread if they are not interested. It is also good to leave part of the old subject line there so that people who's email program sorts by subject can see how the old thread connects with the new one if they want to.

I think the milk is there to be the fat. Some people put it in their eggs (the yolk has fat). I also read that pepper helps with absorption.

Of course I don't have medical knowledge, but I "think" the contraindications are because the turmeric does what the medicines do (prevent clumping) and it would be like getting a double dose and you could end up with your blood "too" thin. The same with the blood glucose lowering properties of turmeric - if someone was on meds that lowered blood glucose it could go too low.

Oy.

Re liability--this was 1965, a far less litigious time. Plus, the counselors were probably in high school; what did they know from liability?

How I managed not to end up with injuries (and I agree--you win) like yours is beyond me because my mother used to claim I was part chimp--I had to climb EVERYTHING (I still remember a tumble I took that caught my inner thigh on the edge of a cabinet door...the blood looked gelatinous to me. I think I was about 4). I can't even imagine what would have become of me if I'd been able to ride with any regularity as a kid.

Re: Turmeric

I think I need to try the apple cider vinegar and the tumeric. Maybe I could put the apple cider vinegar on my fries, I am just kidding because then I would have to have the fries every day and that would be really bad!

Malt vinegar, OH YEAH! on fries, fish, salads, a tablespoon full if I think it

will help my heartburn...

I love the stuff. So much so, a friend who runs a food booth at our state fair,

when the fair was over gave me a dozen bottles they had left, unopened. They

only run place once a year and don't have anywhere to store things and won't

keep them over till next year.

I am the only one in house who uses it, and I was in heaven to have so much on

hand. Can be hard to find without driving an hour or two into " city " .

so..

That's how I got into malt vinegar when I was in high school. There used to be several fish-and-chip chains (my fave was The Hungry Penguin) and they all had malt vinegar on the condiment counter. It's good stuff!

Okay I went out and bought tumeric and tried to ingest it, not able to do it. How on earth do you do it those that eat tumeric? Wow, not that great tasting and tried mixing it with stevia and honey. yuk!

From: Lea Ann Savage <lsavage@...>Subject: OT - Turmeric cured my eczema patch! Date: Tuesday, March 8, 2011, 9:46 AM

OK - I've been waiting for definitive proof before reporting on this...

As you know, we've been discussing Turmeric as an anti-inflamatory. In my research I ran across mention that Turmeric was also good for eczema. I've had a STUBBORN patch of eczema on my scalp for over 6 months now. I was CONSTANTLY picking at it (and cursing it). I was frustrated that all of my attempts at a healthy diet and the consumption of supplements to target lab-tested imbalances was having no effect on this infuriating eczema patch.

I actually started taking Turmeric before I did all of my research so found it hopeful when I ran across claims that it helped with eczema. For the first few days it had no effect. In fact, on day 2 or 3 it started itching excessively (if it could possibly itch more than it used to) and I started getting ALL OVER itching of my body and the rest of my scalp at night (I attributed this to the detox - assuming that the liver was expelling toxins and they were leaving via my skin). It's been about 8 days now that I've been taking 1-2 tsp of Turmeric daily- the itching at night subsided and is now gone and low and behold my eczema patch is now reduced by 90% - it has been getting smaller daily. It is a mere shadow of its former heinous self, and I expect it to be completely eradicated in the next 2-3 days!

Regarding the Turmeric, I'm settled on my final method of ingestion. Although I'll add it to food now and then, the routine that has been working for me is to mix 2 tsp of Turmeric into 1 tbs of heavy cream (luckily I get raw cow's milk cream) with Stevia to help the taste and black pepper (supposed to help the absorption as does the fat in the cream). I dip into this globby mixture with a spoon and take out about an eighth of it, 4 times a day, so this mixture will end up lasting 2 days. I keep it in the fridge in a glass shot glass with a small square of press-n-seal plastic as a re-sealable "lid".

Hope this is helpful to anyone who has heinous, stubborn eczema patches that need eradicating! :-)

LOL Carolyn,Perhaps you are a "super taster" http://www.google.com/search?client=safari & rls=en & q=super+tasters & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8 and more sensitive to flavors?I guess you'll have to resort to the capsules - I'm sure they work well and are easier than mixing the paste that I'm using. I might switch to the pills myself after I use up this bottle of Organic Turmeric I bought.

Lea Ann, have you tried strictly organic with the lemon and lime? I know pesticides on fruits and veggies can often cause skin issue.

OK - I've been waiting for definitive proof before reporting on this...

As you know, we've been discussing Turmeric as an anti-inflamatory. In my research I ran across mention that Turmeric was also good for eczema. I've had a STUBBORN patch of eczema on my scalp for over 6 months now. I was CONSTANTLY picking at it (and cursing it). I was frustrated that all of my attempts at a healthy diet and the consumption of supplements to target lab-tested imbalances was having no effect on this infuriating eczema patch.

I actually started taking Turmeric before I did all of my research so found it hopeful when I ran across claims that it helped with eczema. For the first few days it had no effect. In fact, on day 2 or 3 it started itching excessively (if it could possibly itch more than it used to) and I started getting ALL OVER itching of my body and the rest of my scalp at night (I attributed this to the detox - assuming that the liver was expelling toxins and they were leaving via my skin). It's been about 8 days now that I've been taking 1-2 tsp of Turmeric daily- the itching at night subsided and is now gone and low and behold my eczema patch is now reduced by 90% - it has been getting smaller daily. It is a mere shadow of its former heinous self, and I expect it to be completely eradicated in the next 2-3 days!

Regarding the Turmeric, I'm settled on my final method of ingestion. Although I'll add it to food now and then, the routine that has been working for me is to mix 2 tsp of Turmeric into 1 tbs of heavy cream (luckily I get raw cow's milk cream) with Stevia to help the taste and black pepper (supposed to help the absorption as does the fat in the cream). I dip into this globby mixture with a spoon and take out about an eighth of it, 4 times a day, so this mixture will end up lasting 2 days. I keep it in the fridge in a glass shot glass with a small square of press-n-seal plastic as a re-sealable "lid".

Hope this is helpful to anyone who has heinous, stubborn eczema patches that need eradicating! :-)
