Turmeric is an ingredient in curry powder. It does help inflammation if eaten with black pepper and some oil to help the body absorb it. I buy mine from a local exotic shop. They sell white and orange turmeric. It looks like root ginger but thinner. Or you can buy it ground to a powder. I wouldn't buy it as a supplement, I'd prefer to eat curry, or add a pinch of it into things I'm cooking.

Three wise men took gifts of gold, mhyrr and frankinsense to the baby Jesus. Many people believe that the "gold" was turmeric. xx

Tumeric does slightly thin your blood so if you are taking daily aspirin or blood thinner be careful. I believe it is an anti inflammatory. I know it is suppose to boost the immune system.

I have been using it in something at every meal for about 3 year, after my kidney functions dropped and I was taken off of all pain meds and all
anti-inflammatories. I don't have near the pain, so it must be working.

I’ve heard vets often prescribe Turmeric!
We had a very old dog with arthritis who was given a drug called cartrophin which was amazing as he sure bounced back like a puppy!
Not sure if now being trialled for humans??!!

I take turmeric and I think it really helps with inflammation
