A question about turmeric and osteo-arthritis

Here is an e-mail addressed to Vaidya Mishra in regards of turmeric and its wonderful effects

Len P.

Firstly, thank you for this excellent, informative video.

I have some osteo-arthritis in the base of my left thumb. I started to drink golden milk approximately one week ago and noticed some excellent pain relief after a few days.

To prepare the golden milk I first made a paste combining 1/4 cup turmeric and 1/2 cup water in a pot, heated it for 7-9 minutes and then kept it in a jar in the refrigerator.

Whenever I wanted some golden milk I would take a cup of milk, add a teaspoon of the paste, some freshly ground black pepper, fresh ginger, honey, UDO’s Oil and ground cardamom.

After drinking the golden milk for a few days I noticed that the pain at the base of my thumb was gone; I was elated. However, after a week or so the pain has returned. The only thing that has changed is that I no longer make the milk using paste, I just added ground turmeric directly to the milk as I was making it.

Is the effect of the turmeric enhanced by creating the paste?

Vaidya Mishra replies:

Taking turmeric as a paste has better molecular infusion. Continue doing the paste because it looks like you’re having great results due to turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties. Make sure that you also keep a good diet along with this paste. Turmeric releases toxins from our cellular system. Do not consume clogging or acidic foods, add coriander seed powder when cooking (coriander helps by releasing toxins through our urinary system), drink plenty of water. You can also make asparagus and white daikon raddish soup (helps eliminate toxins through urinary system as well), make sure bowel movements are good. Moringa soup mix is good to release toxins from our bones. All these things will further support turmeric and its good effects on your body.
