How to Use Turmeric:
Spice up your food.
Add this spice to anything but candy, for a new flavor and plenty of health benefits. You can use turmeric to add a little flavor to the cooked vegetables. You can also add it to the boiling water you're using to make pasta, rice, soups, and more.
Drink it like a tea.
Boil four cups of water. Add a teaspoon of ground turmeric and simmer for 10 minutes. Then you should pour the tea through a fine sieve into a glass, add the honey and / or lemon to taste.
Use a turmeric supplement.
I like to take turmeric supplements in case I am traveling and I am not able to cook with it.
Mix with castor oil for a detoxification of the skin.
Turmeric powder with castor oil is a potent release of toxins for your skin. For women, it is great to apply on the chest and under the arm because it will pull out the harmful toxins from the lymph nodes and fat cells of the breast.
