Terrific Turmeric
Learn how turmeric helps preppers

Turmeric is a powerhouse of an herb to stock in the prepper's pantry.
In biblical days, turmeric was more valuable than gold for its
medicinal uses, leading some to believe that turmeric was the gift
of the wise men and not the metallic gold we've come to imagine.
Scholars now speculate t he magi brought tumeri c, frankincense
and myrhh.

Why do preppers stockpile turmeric? Healing is perhaps the
biggest benefit of turmeric! Preppers have been among the first to
rediscover the significant powers of turmeric and its active
compound: curcumin. Learn how preppers are now using turmeric
in prepping...

Harness the Benefits of Turmeric
Preppers are taking note of turmeric ~ the healing spice of ancient
Ayurvedic medicine with the familiar golden color. Pungent,
powerful and plethoric, turmeric has been used since biblical times
to make perfume, color clothing, spice foods and to heal.

Turmeric is gold! Here's why turmeric is the ancient "super food"
and healing miracle that can spice up your prepper's pantry and
help heal your family or group.

Turmeric use #1: treats acne, promotes youthful skin.
Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory that you can put directly on the
skin to calm acne inflammation. It heals the bacteria and offers
relief for acne and even promotes glowing skin. The active
ingredient, curcumin, promotes radiant skin by helping reduce fine
lines and wrinkles. It also helps the wound heal and treats the
skin, so there will be little to no scarring and the skin will stay
protected. So go ahead and make a mask of turmeric paste, but
be forewarned that it does stain clothing.

How to use turmeric to treat acne and promote youthful
skin: Combine one teaspoon turmeric powder with one
teaspoon sandalwood powder with sufficient water droplets
to create a paste. Use this natural medicine to dab onto the
affected areas of acne.

How to make a simple face mask of turmeric: Another way
to use turmeric as a face mask is to mix it with raw honey to
form the face mask. You can also add a few drops of precious
frankincense essential oil for added benefit. Thanks to the
antimicrobial properties, skin will rejuvenate and tone will
begin to feel more radiant. Allow the mask to stay on the
skin for at least five minutes before rinsing.

Turmeric use #2: is active against bacteria (anti-
bacterial).
That turmeric treats wounds is an understatement! Turmeric is a
natural against bacteria as both an antiseptic and an anti-
bacterial to help treat cuts and burns to fight infections from
bacteria. It speeds wound healing and repairs damage.

Well known to the people of India, the turmeric root is highly
revered in Ayurvedic medicine. It can help heal a variety of skin
conditions from acne to eczema.

How to use turmeric as an antibacterial: Make a paste and
apply. Turmeric heals infections and can be used as poultice,
though it stains the skin.

Turmeric use #3: inhibits tumor growth (anti-cancer
agent).
Cancer can be the result of inflammation and here again, turmeric
comes to the rescue. Turmeric contains curcumin, an active
component which may stop cancer naturally from spreading,
providing protection against cancer cells, and tumor growth. It's
the curcumin which helps fight body-wide inflammation.

How to use turmeric for alternative cancer therapy:
Sprinkle turmeric on crusifurus vegetables (broccoli and
cauliflower) for double-acting fighting power.

Turmeric Use #4: Boosts mood (anti-depressant).
Turmeric promotes mood balance. You can potentially put away
the Prozac in favor of turmeric as a natural alternative, but talk
with your doctor! While turmeric fared well in clinical trials, and
was well tolerated, more research likely will be required before
the Western medical community accepts turmeric as an
alternative treatment. Turmeric has long been used in Chinese
medicine as a treatment for depression. The secret, again, is the
curcumin, which is also a natural mood enhancer!

How to use as an anti-depressant. Talk with your doctor.
Depression is a serious concern and you should not self-
medicate; always seek treatment if available; however, in
uncertain times, casually cooking with turmeric is a viable
way to help lift spirits, so use liberally.

Turmeric Use #5: helps regulate blood sugars
(diabetes support).
P reppers who have d iabet es will appreciate that turmeric helps
control blood sugar in much the same way cinnamon does, but you
don't have to be a diabetic to get the benefits of turmeric. Anyone
who suffers from low energy can benefit from turmeric. The
antioxidants, which are high in turmeric, help balance blood sugar
levels to restore energy levels. P

How to use turmeric for diabetes. First talk with your
doctor before starting a turmeric regimen, but do consider
taking supplements under care.

Turmeric use #6: provides pain relief (analgesic).
Instead of reaching for the ibuprofen or Alieve, grab some
curcumin (the ingredient extracted from turmeric). One of the
many benefits of turmeric is the analgesic effects. Turmeric lowers
histamine levels to reduce inflammation, and this stimulates the
adrenal glands to produce more cortisone, which is the body's
natural painkiller. Adding black pepper increases the active
ingredient of turmeric, curcumin, by twenty times!

Alleviates the pain of arthritis. Turmeric is a natural
alternative to celcoxib (Celebrex) for treating arthritic pain to
help manage pain, thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties
of the active compound ingredient: curcumin.

How to use turmeric to relieve arthritic pain: To
relieve pain, take herbal curcumin capsules, as pictured
left, preferably with food. Alternatively ave a cup of
turmeric tea!

Manages muscle pans and sprains. Because it's anti-
inflammatory, Turmeric can play a role in soothing muscle
sprains in the upper body, and other kinds of pain

How to use turmeric to provide upper body relief
from muscle strain: Apply warm ginger paste with
turmeric. Boil water to warm and mix the ginger powder
and turmeric powder, one teaspoonful of each into a
paste. While the paste may stain the skin and clothing,
the relief is worthwhile.

Mitigates a toothache. One of the many ways turmeric
supports the body as an analgesic is for toothaches.

How to use turmeric to heal a toothache naturally:
Mix this spice with a warm glass of milk as an instant
analgesic. It will not only start to heal your infection,
but take away the pain of your tooth until you can see
your Dentist. It will work almost instantly thanks to its
anti-inflammatory properties. Try it and you'll forever
wonder why you've ever chosen a chemical over a
natural remedy!

Why pay money for artificially created chemicals drugs made in
the lab when instead your medicine can come from your garden or
the grocery store produce or spice isle with ingredients provided
by nature?

Turmeric use #7: helps relieve the common cold.
Turmeric includes powerful antioxidants and can help you fight the
common cold.

How to use turmeric to help with coughs:

Make a gargle! You'll need one glass of warm water, a pinch
of salt and three pinches of turmeric powder for your gargle.

Try this dry cough remedy: To a cup of boiling water, add a
teaspoon of turmeric powder and a quarter teaspoon black
pepper. Simmer for three minutes, then add a tablespoon raw
honey.

Turmeric use #8: Soothes as a stomach tonic.
Long known as a mild digestive, turmeric has a wide array of uses
for digestive health. Buried in the ancient clay tablets of the
Assyrian King Ashurbanipal, is a report from 650 B.C.E. that
turmeric is useful as a stomach tonic. Ancient wisdom has evaded
modern-day American life until now. Consider turmeric to help
with:

diarrhea
dysentery
loss of appetite
stomach bloating
intestinal worms
ulcers

How to use turmeric as a stomach tonic. Take turmeric tea!
Recipe at the bottom of the page.

While turmeric has been deemed effective in many areas to aid in
digestion, it hasn't proven beneficial for helping patients with
irritable bowl syndrome.

Turmeric use #9: detoxifies the liver
Turmeric helps prevent liver disease by detoxifying and boosting
cellular functioning. The liver is the body's primary organ of
detoxification. Turmeric stimulates the production of bile in the
liver to cleanse the body, to improve digestion of fats and to
excrete toxins.

How to use turmeric to detoxify. Add fresh grated turmeric
root to smoothies, or sprinkle ground turmeric.

Turmeric use #10: provides joint relief.
The Curcumin present in turmeric is a potent and natural way to
help relieve inflammation and joint pain. The magic of curcimin,
helps promote a healthy inflammatory response to ease arthritic
aches and joint pain.

How to use turmeric for joint relief: Grate a yellow onion
with a half teaspoon of turmeric powder and a half teaspoon
of curry powder and mix into a paste. Then apply to the
affected area. This is an Ayurvedic remedy. As a poultice, i
will stain, but help get to the inflammation and stiff joints.

Turmeric use #11: helps fight heart disease.
Quite simply, turmeric is effective at cleaning out your artieries.
Turmeric is good for the heart and for those who have high blood
pressure and high cholesterol. The active ingredient of turmeric,
curcumin, helps support cardiovascular function for heart health.
Turmeric lowers cholesterol, reducing plaque in the arteries.

Turmeric use #12: purifies blood, prevents blood
clotting.
While it's good to have in the prepper's medicine cabinet a spirin,
Ibuprofen, and even prescription anticoagulants could potentially
be replaced with a turmeric regimen. Consult your physician
regarding this natural alternative to see if such a regimen would
be right for you. For example turmeric is not appropriate for
serious conditions, such as thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
This report is for informational purposes only. Always seek
medical advice from a licensed practitioner when available. With
approval you can seek turmeric in capsule format.

Turmeric is among the Ayurvedic medications of blood purifying
herbs, which also include saffron, sandalwood, and calamus root
powder.

Turmeric reduces risk of blood clots.
Battles strokes and
Improves cholesterol level

Turmeric use #13: natural food coloring.
Turmeric has a double function in cooking: it colors as it spices
your food. Turmeric often replaces saffron for this purpose in
cooking or to give vegan food a lift (Vegan mayonnaise gets an
egg-like yellow hue). In India, they use turmeric to color sweets
and spice curries. Morcocan cuisine uses turmeric principally for
lamb and vegetables.

Certainly, turmeric has a skin staining effect, so be careful when
cooking with turmeric, especially if you're wearing light colored
clothing. Turmeric is not water soluble.

In addition to coloring foods, turmeric has been used as a coloring
for clothing. The natural dye of turmeric for yellow, saffron for
orange, and sumac for purple was for overall wellbeing and
pleasure of the ancient people.

How to remove an unwanted turmeric stain: Submerge the
stain in rubbing alcohol or dab with an oil soaked towel. It
should be easy to get out the stain, and eventually stains
will fade out with time.

Turmeric use #14: food preparation.
Ground turmeric is a pungent golden-yellow spice with a
distinctive aroma that hints of ginger and pepper. (It's a rhizome
related to ginger.) Indispensable in East Indian cooking, you'll
find turmeric ideal for prepared mustards, pickles, dressings and
egg and rice dishes. Preppers may like to use turmeric for coloring
butter and cheese or even home made mustard.

Turmeric is anti-bacterial food! Preppers use honey as an
antibacterial and now they can use turmeric too! Turmeric can help
in two ways to combat bacteria:

fight bacteria on the skin of open wounds, and
prevent new bacteria from entering the body through the
wound opening as it heals.

Turmeric use #15: help for Alzheimers!
We almost forgot to explain how turmeric helps lower the rate of
Alzheimers disease! Turmeric has incredible brain-boosting
powers. It both protects and regenerates cells, which is proving
helpful for Alzeheimer's patients, in particular. It's all thanks to
the curcumin, which protects brain cells by dissolving abnormal
proteins
