Jamaican Turmeric Root Powers

turmeric root

Turmeric Root…is one of the most important miracle roots medicine in my apothecary.

Jamaican Turmeric Root grows easily in the tropical conditions of this beautiful island, and can be found all over the hillsides of the Jamaican countryside. It is harvested and sold in many of the local markets.

Medicinal Benefits of Turmeric:

The medicinal benefits of turmeric are impressive:

  • Fights Inflammation.
  • Powerful Antioxidant
  • Protects the heart
  • Helpful for fighting diabetes and cancer
  • Brain Boosting
  • Great for skin (fights eczema or psoriasis) and helps stop acne.

I scored some roots the other day and decided to tincture it.  As a tincture, turmeric can be used on its own as a daily supplement, or it can be blended with other herbs to create healing tinctures and balms.

Culinary Uses of Turmeric:

  • Turmeric is the main ingredient in the popular dish “curry”.
  • One of my favorite ways to prepare turmeric is in a ‘Golden Milk” drink. Golden Milk is a hot tea, prepared with a milk of your choice, turmeric, cinnamon, honey, black pepper and ginger root.
  • Add turmeric to smoothies or juices
  • Golden Honey can be prepared to fight colds symptoms

Turmeric is a really beneficial medicine. Tincture is for purchase at https://empressroots.com in 2oz  or 4 oz bottles. We also make a healing balm with black turmeric available for sale as well at https://empressroots.com/products/

Black Turmeric Magic

We were given this beautiful unique root from a local organic farmer to “play” with. We infused a powerful healing oil and tinctured the rest of it. The oil ended up in a healing balm and is used topically.

Black Turmeric is not as popular as yellow Turmeric. Black Turmeric is used for mainly medicinal purposes.

The healing properties of Black Turmeric include:

Cancer
The Black Turmeric’s curcumin may help prevent if not kill cancer cells from growing.

Lung Illnesses
Black Turmeric has been known to improve or treat lung illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.

Natural Anti-Oxidant
The curcumin in Black Turmeric is very effective in neutralizing free radicals. This is why if taken in moderation; it has been known that Black Turmeric can neutralize the free radicals which our body cannot. Thus, negating the effects of aging and cancer cells.

Active Anti-Inflammatory
The Black Turmeric has been known to be a very effective anti-inflammatory. A compound, such as the curcumin, found in the Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory compound.

Pain Reliever
Black Turmeric is an excellent pain reliever. From rashes, toothaches, osteoarthritis to stomach problems, Black Turmeric may help relieve situations like these.

Harvesting Yellow Dock Root

Yellow dock is thought to benefit the digestive tract, liver and skin and has been known to treat inflamed nasal passages. One of its primary uses by herbalists is for skin conditions associated with poor digestion, poor liver function or “toxicity”. Yellow dock may also be useful in assisting with:

  • Poor digestion
  • Skin conditions
  • Mild constipation
  • Liver detox

Yellow dock is prepared for medicinal use as a syrup, a tincture, or an ointment/balm. We make tincture with it and use it in our Empress Roots liver support tincture.
