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 ben
efits 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
