Tumeric.... must spread word ahh!

I'm reposting this for the third time, first time in general section, because I still feel not enough people know about it. It works! When my dad went to Japan for a research presentation, he brought back a root called tumeric. In Okinawa where people have the greatest life expectancy, people mix this root in their tea and drink it all the time over there. I started using some after my dad brought it back and I've noticed that my dream imagery/vividness has greatly increased along with my REM periods and dream recall <--(greatly increased), It's possible to buy this herb in bulk at most grocery stores, it's an orange powdery ground root. It's relaxing and has an interesting effect on dreams, and is very healthy and mind clearing. To make a tea just stir in about 1/4 teaspoon. Must try!

This has been discussed before....it could possibly just be the power of suggestion.

I could never try it. my parents are so overprotective about me and taking things like that and pills meh...oh well *shrugs*

[gameover]

even...tumeric?!?!?! Thats like saying its bad to drink orange juice or tea! Thats a new one to me.

[muse.v]

isn't tumeric used in curry a fair bit, to make it orange? its a bit different to pills and supplements.

[dream-scape]

how do you stir this into your tea? Do you just cut off a chunk a throw it in the tea or do you grind it up first?

i love curry spices ~:) I'd imagine the root form is much stronger than the powder that is available in supermarkets, but i have had some success using this spice for sleep and dream work. my best friends parents are into holistic and ayurvedic healing and i learned the following sleeping potion from them: -A mug of warm milk -a heaping teaspoon of tumeric (or as much as you can stand) -grated fresh ginger -honey to taste tumeric has a bit of a metallic taste and i've found it's best to add it slowly, while tasting. best of luck

thats interesting wurmspun... my dad also uses this herb for sleep. He's bordering insomnia and but when he drinks this he says that he sleeps much deeper and better.

wow it,s been months since I have been here Tumeric is mostly used for a colouring agent in food. I wonder what mustard would look like without it?

[Damascus]

dont you mean 'turmeric' not 'tumeric'? i know we have something called turmeric which is used to colour curries but no tumeric :/ oh,and blake,it is beyond human nature to understand what mustard would look like without turmeric. 'twould be death to gaze upon something so.
