Been reading comments on Turmeric and have to put my oar in.
I have been using the paste myself for months now and am very fond of it. I am I use my paste in coconut milk with local raw honey for sweetener and add some ceylon cinnamon and of course, coconut oil. Over all, I am doing very well by it. There have been times when I have missed a dose and missed is the operative word. I do love it. I use a teaspoon of the paste, more or less, in my brew. I take nothing for the RA at all.
I was on Methotrexate and it stopped working. The turmeric drink seems to be keeping me in a good place. I am reasonably pain-free and get about freely.

Thanks again. Myself and my husband have just started taking Turmeric paste. My question is this. In July we will be motoring around Europe. As the paste has to be refrigerated how can we carry on taking it?
Does it have to be refrigerated or is there an alternative? It really depends on the climate and how long you travel. Readers do freeze the paste and carry a small batch while traveling. Personal observations.
Background: Stroke Hypertension and meds for that: Coversyl Novum 5mg, Norvasc 10mg and Emconcor 2,5mg per day. Bloodpressure normalized a few seconds and nothing but stupified look on the face of doctors. Newer find what was wrong with me. MRI taken and was OK. After 3 week my disorder was gone and i was hooked.
First left that nightmarish sudden coldness mystically my disorder started always somewhere pm , and gradually all of my symptoms was gone. Now third year going and nothing wrong. Moving back to 3g per day and dreams are gone. Would you believe that! Sorry to say but must be something to do with my stroke or combination of my meds. Or stroke and meds. At once.

Everybody is different. Age, weight etc. Very interesting. Like a miracle. The reason Im replying to your post is that after nearly 2 years of not having any dreams I am also dreaming. Very bizarre.

Start with a low dose of supplement while keeping a standard dietary intake of turmeric and increase supplement dosage gradually to avoid gastric discomfort.
To TurmericForHealth; Thank you so much for this very helpful site. How wonderful that you want to help people, Many of us mortals tend to become very mistrustful and skeptical of health related anything if we have had any dealings with ill health; the field is rampant with abuse. It is so refreshing to see genuine caring. Bless you. I had 2 stents inserted for a blocked artery 18mths ago. My doctor has advised that I should take low dose aspirin daily for the rest of my life.
Can I safely take 1 teaspoon turmeric daily as well. Thank you for a great site. Hi Steve. Gradually build it to 1 teaspoon but in divided doses over the day and mixed with meals.
Dietary turmeric is safe and gradual increase will help your body get accustomed to it and will help you to rule out any chances of side effects. It will also help as an anti-coagulant. My condition is getting on my last nerve lol so I plan to be disciplined with the turmeric now.
Then I read that you suggest using half of a teaspoon of pepper if I use a teaspoon of the powder. Well I definitely was using more than that for both. Do I use a teaspoon or tablespoon?
Am I only suppose to use it once a day or multiple times a day? Do I use it in every meal or just one meal a day? Should I use Almond or Coconut milk. When included in cooking 1 tsp of turmeric powder a day suffices and preferably spread over meals.
Hot water and pepper may not be the best way to take it unless you are boiling turmeric powder in water for 10 minutes or more. You can use either almond or coconut milk. You can also opt for Golden Paste.
Avoid taking it at the same time when you take other meds. Golden milk is Turmeric milk. Dairy fat and protein helps in absorption of turmeric and Golden milk helps boost immunity, fight infections and promotes overall health. Global Healing Center has a liquid Turmeric extract that is world class. And it is actually decent tasting. I sure hope you and anyone else will give it a try. I have 0 affiliation with that company. Just a beneficiary of taking the supplement.
Hi, Thank you so much for this site, very informative. I stupidly took 2 capsules of mg 3 times a day felt awesomely great until after about six weeks I came out in hives on my middle body overnight. Very uncomfortable and itchy as hell. After a couple of days hives then disappeared from my trunk and moved up to my neck area, highly embarrassing, making me look like a recovering burn victim.
So obviously I stopped the tumeric completely and got prescribed steroids and allergy drugs to get rid of the reaction. After about 10 days the hives disappeared and I then took one tumeric of mg, but of course still being a numpty, I only took the capsule on its own without any complimentary oil, black pepper etc.
So now I have huge bags developed overnight under my eyes was a sympton of before as well. So Tumeric is worth persevering with, you just have to find ways to ensure your body can absorb it correctly.
Another comment that was made above was not to take turmeric at the same time as other medication. I love the milk, tumeric and coconut drink idea. Thanks again for all the information. If you still face any sort of reactions then may be you are allergic to turmeric.
Ensure that you get good quality organic turmeric free from additives. Avoid taking turmeric supplements or Golden Paste at the same time as other meds since both turmeric and black pepper interfere in drug metabolism.
Just want to know to make tumeric milk, do we always have to boil it? Can I just put small amount of hot water then mix tumeric powder and add cold milk then drink? Well it is better to boil so that turmeric dissolves well in dairy fat.
However if you want to drink with cold milk what you could do is make Golden Paste first and add 1 tsp of this paste to cold milk. Mix and drink. Since then we have been living in hospital then hospice and now we are home. We have come very close to losing him and even have said our goodbyes but he keeps bouncing back and we are fighting hard.

He is currently on 8mg of Dexamethasone daily which I wish to reduce eventually if possible and replace with high doses of turmeric. How much turmeric would you recommend me start him on and how much would you recommend I should build up too? I look forward to your reply. Thanks heaps. Please consult the doctor before taking turmeric supplements and before reducing any medicines.
Continue till it reaches a dose of 1 tsp a day, if he is taking supplements also. If not opting for supplements please increase the dose gradually to tsp times a day.
This will help build his immunity. Maintain a hour gap before taking any other meds. Go to the web site of Sean Simpson cannibis kills cancer. Search also cannibis kills brain cancer Dr. What do you know regarding this and what recommend? Turmeric does benefit in HSV. You can even take Golden Paste. Hi I bought some Turmeric Curcumin mg with Black pepper extract is it ok to take that when first starting this or should I start out with a lower dose?
It is advisable to start with a lower dose. But since these pills are already in mg formulation there isnt a way you could start with a lower dose. Avoid taking them on an empty stomach and also do not take them at the same time as other meds.
Keep a hour gap between other meds and turmeric if you are taking any. When you say avoid taking the turmeric supplements with other meds, does that include other supplements? I currently take fish oil, prenatal vitamins, probiotics and liquid chlorophyll.
Would I take the turmeric supplement at a different time? Curcumin interferes in drug metabolism and hence we recommend taking it a different time then when taking any other medicine. There is no specific study done regarding the particular supplements you mentioned. Fish oil and probiotics may help increase absorption of turmeric if taken concomitantly. Depending on the pathway of absorption and metabolism, it may or may not affect the other two but it is best to keep a gap to be safe.
As far as the paste is concerned the recommended dose is tsp times a day or how it suits you. I would like to use turmeric for symptoms of stress, I understand that low doses inhibit cortisol production and high doses increase. If I suspect high evening cortisol how much fresh root would be good to have at night to lower cortisol levels? I am thinking of making a turmeric tea. Readers have found Turmeric Milk also soothing in terms of reduced pain, better sleep and better mood.
Is it good for my health if I make turmeric drink every day? Yes this is a great recipe. Limit the honey intake.
This will definitely benefit your health. It appeared to show a bit higher dosage above for that but how would you advise increasing when they are having upset stomach? Trying to give this recommend this natural alternative to so many anti-inflammatory OTCs but more than usual are having side effects and having to quit.. Thank you for your query. Firstly if one has not tried turmeric ever then its advisable to not take it or take small doses or in a form like turmeric milk.
Also do not increase the dose of turmeric during a stomach upset. Stomach sensitivity as you mention, can be overcome by gradual introduction of turmeric in diet. Increasing turmeric dose gradually will reduce gastric side effects. Turmeric supplements should be avoided in such conditions for they are at a fairly high dose.
Allergy of turmeric could only be identified by contact dermatitis or if they have consumed turmeric alone say as a spice or supplement but not mixed with other ingredients and experienced allergic reactions.
Ginger would actually be a great alternative to turmeric in case of stomach upset and for pain but if she is allergic to turmeric then quite likely she will have an allergic reaction with ginger. However you can always opt for olive or coconut oil. With gradual increment you can ascertain what dose works best for you. I have colon cancer and have been taking Golden Paste for the last 4 weeks. I have increased the dose gradually and I am almost up to the maximum of 1tsp three times a day.
How long is it safe to take it at this dosage. I am due for a scan in a couple of weeks. It will obviously contribute to your health and we hope this dose is successful in healing the cancer but mostly conditions like cancer require curcumin supplements.
Please consult your doctor before taking them. My dad was just diagnosed with colon cancer. Please keep us posted on your scan, good luck!
How much powder turmeric from a grocery store should one take for inflamation problems in the fingers? Being a musician this is Important to me.

He using turmeric from a health food store?
I heard the best way to take it is to cook with it. At this dose of 1 tsp times a day you would definitely experience relief from pain and if it suits you, as in you see no gastric side effects, you can increase the dose. You can also try Turmeric Milk, 1 cup a day.
Many people report fast relief from pain after taking Turmeric Milk. Also check if it is a good brand of turmeric, preferably organic, the one that is available at the food store. Please check if its only turmeric Curcuma longa and not mixed with other spices. Good day. I am able to buy fresh turmeric root easily in the area where I live. May I kindly ask for a recipe using freah turmeric root. I would greatly appreciate your help. Fresh turmeric say g can be included in diet daily in salads and juices.
I make my standard rattitoule sp and add fresh turmeric root. At the last minute top with fresh spinach till wilted. Serve topped with black olives and feta cheese. You can add different veggies as you like. Hi Mary. This is an interesting recipe and a great way of incorporating fresh turmeric in diet. Thank you for sharing this. I Have been peeling and slicing several fingers of fresh tumeric as well as ginger, with 2 or 3 cups of good water. Boiling for several minutes aND then steeping until cool, then I run it all through my magic bullet juicer a few times until smooth.
Store in glass jar in fridge. I take about hAlf cup mix with milk and a bit of honey or maple syrup 2 times a day. I have polycystic disease in both kidneys, my liver and other internal organs. I also have osteoarthritis in the lower left side f my spine and a synovial cyst in the right lower spine. Can you tell me please whether taking turmeric will help any or all of these conditions and the best way for me to take it?
Turmeric should help with polycystic disease and osteoarthritis. Take it with or after meals. Avoid taking it close to the time of taking other medicines to avoid side effects. You can also consume Turmeric Milk. Turmeric is a natural anti-diabetic agent. It can help lower blood sugar, reduce inflammation and reduce progression of complications of diabetes.
You can start taking Golden Paste. Turmeric supplements are generally not recommended when taking diabetes medication as they may have an additive effect and may reduce blood sugar abnormally. Turmeric in diet is safe but avoid taking Golden Paste close to taking other medications.
I have severe spinal stenosis, herniated and bulging disc and unstable spine. I have been in pain daily for more than 2 yrs.
I have been taking 2gm of tumuric every morning and it helps but by 8pm my pain comes back with vengeance so before bed or earlier I resort to ibuprofen mg with Prilosec. I refuse to have surgery but still remain in pain. Please advise. Hi Teresa. So turmeric is helping you to reduce the pain but the action is not long lasting.
Are you taking it with black pepper and fats for these will help in absorption of active ingredients of turmeric. Also take it after meals so that dietary fat helps in absorption.
Also are you using good quality organic turmeric? You could make the Golden Paste. But since you are already taking turmeric for more than 2 years this should not give you gastric side effects. Spreading your dose over the day will deliver adequate amount and at regular time intervals.
Also look for a second opinion regarding your health condition. Took total in 24hr mg I am concerned about taking to much ibuprofen because it can have cardiac side effects and I have hypertension and hyperlipidemia I hope the higher dose will work but I will try the paste you suggested were do you recommend to get the turmeric for the paste.
Are you sure that your condition requires that high a dose? Turmeric can definitely help in hypertension, hyperlipidemia and pain.
Also when taking the paste please reduce the supplement dose since 4g curcumin is pretty high. Hi In response to Teresa, I have chronic back pain and am still in the process to find out the cause.
For the last five months I had problems lying down or sitting as pain kicks in badly. I take that mixed with coconut oil a tea spoon or olive oil, a pinch of black pepper to activate turmeric. I take it mixed with luke warm water twice a day, after breakfast and after dinner. So far amazing results as I had finally a good sleep and with no pain. Also I am better during the day and I can move better! I am trying to do gentle stretch on a mat, even only 15 min can make a huge difference. Also, I am listening Hypnotherapy guy on YouTube for pain management and that is helping relaxing a lot before going to bed.
My suggestion is that you try to avoid taking ibuprofen as it lowers your immune system and is hard on liver and kidneys. Finally, do some research on Glucosamine Sulphate I met an old guy who has DDD and finds huge benefits from taking this and homeopathic Tissue Salts and Silica which help with mineral deficiency in the tissues and bones. Hey Kat, Have you tried checking in with a chiropractor? Hope you feel better! Teresa, Please make sure your blood pressure is under control.
I quit Ibuprofen despite episodes of intense pain… eventually causing my blood pressure to skyrocket and I had a major stroke… immediately following one of these major pain episodes. Ideally, I would have checked BP in the middle of a pain session and realized, something must be done to intervene…some countermeasure. God be with you, Teresa.
I understand more than you would know. Has timer of helped you? I really want to know. I asked a question myself as to the dosage of ground turmeric from a grocery store and jace not got a reply.
My thoughts are with you. Teddy P. Ground turmeric from grocery store is same as turmeric powder right? The ideal dose is 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder a day. However it is always advised to start with small doses. Ground turmeric or turmeric powder is best taken with black pepper and oil.
Can I also take this with cumin? Several years ago, I started having episodes of stomach pain which was diagnosed as gallstones.
After my 3rd episode within an month period, a friend researched and found the combination of turmeric, cumin, and curry along with olive oil breaks down the stones from forming. Since that 3rd episode, I always keep the three powders available I had a recent episode a month ago but only had the turmeric and cumin and within minutes the pain subsides. I would go to emergency during the early episodes since the pain would have lasting effects at one time the doctor wanted to remove my bladder, fortunately the stone had passed when a later scan was done.
They told you — one table spoon of powdered turmeric a day OK. I just received turmeric powder and added 1 tbl [too much I know] to my morning smoothie with fruits and veggies, mostly fruit. Should I do so? The absorption of turmeric is improved with black pepper and oil so you should try and include them. You could also make the Golden Paste and then add it to your smoothie.
Just starting to take turmeric. Im doing that 2 x aday as my tea. I have heart burn for a longer time. Is this good to me? Do you mean 3 medium turmeric roots or 3 medium pieces? Turmeric tea twice a day is great but avoid taking it on an empty stomach. However for heartburn it would be advisable to take Golden Paste. This include black pepper and oil which increases the absorption of turmeric.
You should take it with or immediately after meals. Yes, pepper makes a great difference as it activates curcumin in the turmeric. I add a pinch of it. Also you should add some fat to make it absorbed better: I use organic coconut oil or olive oil.
Enjoy the great benefits! Hi, from sunny Greece!!! I have a question about making the Golden Paste. Do you mean 5,5 teaspoons? A second question. What would you suggest concerning to turmeric and Golden Paste use? Thank you!!! Hi Manolis. It is 1. It is great to include turmeric or Golden Paste in diet but for your condition it is preferable to take curcumin supplements.
Do discuss this with your doctor and it is preferable to take supplements after a meal for better absorption and to avoid chances of reflux.
I was skeptical about using the Turmeric, but i was having a severe problem with phylum, coughing every morning, and sometimes during the night, it was suggested i try the 1tsp of turmeric in a cup of warm milk before going to bed and in the morning, and to do this for a couple of days.
The next morning I had no phylum, and I have done this for 3 days now, wheezing has calmed down, I appreciate your information on continues use a total of 1 tsp a day. I will divide my dosage into twice a day and add some pepper. Thank you for this valuable information. Thank you for sharing your experience Linda. It is great to hear that turmeric benefits your health. Phylum is the wrong word! You mean Phlegm pronounced Flem It is produced in the bronchial tubes of the lungs and is usually coughed up.
Linda, please keep in mind that milk is one of the things that causes more mucos or phlegm. I make turmeric tea according to Dr. I do not like the taste of turmeric tea so after I make it I drop in a teabag of an organic herbal spice tea blend no caffeine that has ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardemom.
Celestial Seasonings makes one called Bengal Spice that is very good. Then I pour this turmeric tea over a Bengal Spice teabag and let it steep a couple of minutes. The longer Bengal Spice steeps, the sweeter it is no sugar nor artificial sweeteners. I cannot taste the turmeric tea, only the Bengal Spice, and so I have a flavorful tea that includes the spice tea plus turmeric tea. This helps with my chronic pain. I have found that if I cannot relax it does not do as much for my pain, so I try to drink the tea slowly and focus on something positive in a quiet room with low light.
This seems to help a great deal. I cannot take any OTC pain relievers, so this is a good thing for me. Hope this helps you. Some people have no trouble with milk, but it is known to cause problems with mucus in the body.
I would like to ask wich is the amount of pepper or ginger we should add to the turmeric powder or root. Hi also would like to know what is the daily dose for small children 3 or less? A small children can take ir daily also? The recommended turmeric dosage is between , mg of curcumin per day.
This daily dose should be enough to yield significant health benefits to those who remain consistent with the supplement. Turmeric and black pepper are powerful, flavorful spices on their own. Both offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, which may help ease or prevent inflammatory conditions and lessen free-radical damage. Low doses, usually one mg capsule of turmeric daily, can have many benefits for those without diagnosed health conditions. Turmeric is a spice that comes from the root of the turmeric plant.
Mix a pinch of cinnamon powder in turmeric milk and drink it in the morning.
