Tumeric root

Redlady07

Pretty sure this has been covered before but searches are not turning up anthing current. What the opinion on tumeric root? What the best way to consume it? So far, asking around I've had smoothies suggested, teas, tumeric latte….

I bought some on a whim and thought I'd ask here as you are the folks with the lived experience. I have used tumeric massage oil before which is good.

An advocate of high strength Turmeric supplements

Hi. I’m very new to the Community and have recently been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis of neck, arms, upper back and right knee. I am 65yrs old. I obviously suffer from restricted movement and a constant level of discomfort and pain. I did not like relying on the usual painkiller medication from my doctor. On advice of a very good friend I started taking turmeric 2000mg supplements together with vitamin D3 +K2 and after 4/5 weeks noticed a remarkable difference in my mobility and pain level. I also sleep better without waking with aching joints. I have stopped taking painkillers and would highly recommend trying turmeric as an alternative method for treating OA, it has without doubt helped me. Good luck 🤞.
