I consume 2-3 cup of green tea, 1-2 cup of black tea, a few grams of ginger powder in it and today i began drinking black tea with a few grams of turmeric powder in it.

Any recommendations for my herbal life? :lol:

Turmeric does not taste very nice ... it's not meant to go in tea!

You need to add it to your cooking ... especially things like stew or to make a marinade to soak fish/meat.

Last night I had Turmeric marinaded Tofu, chopped up into roast vegetables. But I have to start my diet again today .... as it didn't stop there! :lol:


Last night I tried turmeric in black tea and it gave the tea an excellent flavour besides a nice smell. 2 of my customers tried and they liked it a lot too. Each of us drank 2 cups of black tea, added half a tea spoon of turmeric in it. In 15 minutres it took effect and we felt ourselves more energetic, relaxed and happier. Even there was a small pain on my shoulders and it lost after 20 minutes I drank turmeric tea. 2 hours later I drank 1 cup of black tea added half a tea spoon of ginger in it. I felt myself more energetic.

Early in the morning I test one of my virility skills and the result was unbelievable. :shock: It took me 1/3 of the usual time length needed to succeed and the feeling was too different. :D

In the morning I went to a supermarket and bought a 50 grams pack of love-in-a-mist. Tonight I will try it. I'll chew it plainly though it is recommnded with honey.

Tea with turmeric must be a first insan! I tend to use it in cooking - but it has other properties as listed below!

turmeric.is one of nature's most powerful healers. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. Tumeric has been used for over 2500 years in India, where it was most likely first used as a dye.

The medicinal properties of this spice have been slowly revealing themselves over the centuries. Long known for its anti-inflammatory properties, recent research has revealed that turmeric is a natural wonder, proving beneficial in the treatment of many different health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer's disease.

Here are 20 reasons to add turmeric to your diet:

1. It is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, useful in disinfecting cuts and burns.

2. When combined with cauliflower, it has shown to prevent prostate cancer and stop the growth of existing prostate cancer.

3. Prevented breast cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice.

4. May prevent melanoma and cause existing melanoma cells to commit suicide.

5. Reduces the risk of childhood leukemia.

6. Is a natural liver detoxifier.

7. May prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by removing amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain.

8. May prevent metastases from occurring in many different forms of cancer.

9. It is a potent natural anti-inflammatory that works as well as many anti-inflammatory drugs but without the side effects.

10. Has shown promise in slowing the progression of multiple sclerosis in mice.

11. Is a natural painkiller and cox-2 inhibitor.

12. May aid in fat metabolism and help in weight management.

13. Has long been used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression.

14. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is a natural treatment for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

15. Boosts the effects of chemo drug paclitaxel and reduces its side effects.

16. Promising studies are underway on the effects of turmeric on pancreatic cancer.

17. Studies are ongoing in the positive effects of turmeric on multiple myeloma.

18. Has been shown to stop the growth of new blood vessels in tumors.

19. Speeds up wound healing and assists in remodeling of damaged skin.

20. May help in the treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Turmeric can be taken in powder or pill form. It is available in pill form in most health food stores, usually in 250-500mg capsules.

Once you start using turmeric on a regular basis, it's fun to find new ways to use it in recipes. My favorite way to use it is to add a pinch of it to egg salad. It adds a nice flavor and gives the egg salad a rich yellow hue.

Contraindications: Turmeric should not be used by people with gallstones or bile obstruction. Though turmeric is often used by pregnant women, it is important to consult with a doctor before doing so as turmeric can be a uterine stimulant.


Thx for the info Bubbles. I highly recommend u to consume turmeric powder by adding it to ur black tea.

Just to encourage the rest of you and show that I am supporting your efforts, here is my intake for today.

Black pudding, fried bread and fried eggs. You will also see in the picture my 5th pint of KEO for the day (well it is TGIF & POETS too!).
