Why turmeric?
Turmeric has healing qualities and is one of those natural supplements that is a food. Turmeric is a herb and so many see it as a herbal medicine, but it has been ‘manufactured’ into powders and capsules. People use turmeric for things as serious as rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic anterior uveitis as well as for diseases or illnesses like conjunctivitis and even to potentially prevent different cancers. It can help take away the pain of chicken pox by reducing the itch, and for wound healing, urinary tract infections, and heart health.
There are so many good uses for turmeric and a teaspoon over your coffee, in your tea, or swallowed daily in siupplement form can be really helpful. It is probably easiest to take turmeric tablets and just follow the instructions of one or so per day.
