Turmeric

I make sure to have some form of turmeric everyday, be it a chunk of the root, some powder or in pill form.


Turmeric is well known to help aches and pains as it is SO anti inflammatory. It reduces cholesterol and detoxifies the liver. Most importantly, it also boosts the immune system so is a huge preventative of disease.


Equally, turmeric promotes weight loss (and is great for diabetes) and is what I call a beautifying skin tonic - specifically reducing acne and for brightening the skin.


Brand - I always try to get my turmeric fix from the root, but we can’t always win! So for me the best supplement is the Turmeric and Curcumin from @gandgvits


What you didn’t know - you must always consume turmeric with black pepper and some kind of fat (olive oil or avocados make a good one) otherwise it won’t be as effective.


Also, if you by mistake spill some of that bright yellow turmeric powder onto your clothes, leave them under the sun and the uv rays will make the stain disappear!

Beware - in large quantities turmeric may cause stomach upset for some people.

After many years of my friends pushing me to do so, I’ve finally decided to share the fruits of my 30+ years of health and wellness knowledge.


Following a Ph.D in Economics I had a complete career change and studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, graduating as an Acupuncturist over 25 years ago. Since then I have continued to study - completing degrees in Chinese Herbs and Naturopathic Nutrition and becoming a Reiki Healer.


I continue to treat patients and am an avid reader of all things health. This page aims to provide a consolidated account of my past and continued learnings.


I hope you enjoy it and that it helps you take control of your health and better understand your body and mind.
