I also take the turmeric capsules daily.

I sprinkle turmeric on everything.

I've really enjoyed turmeric ginger tea this winter--so warming and good. So yes I would try this variation. What I do now is pretty simple: 1 tsp (or more) organic turmeric, a few pieces minced ginger, dash cinnamon. The only trouble with turmeric is it does turn everything, including my tongue (and, subsequently, toothbrush), orange for a while!

I take turmeric capsules too, but the black pepper and some fat really expand its healthful properties.

Recently I made the mistake of using one of my Le Creuset pots to make something with a lot of turmeric in it. I think the underside of the lid will be orange forever.

I like to add it to curries and soups, it's delicious in those. I tried a home-made chai mix with turmeric, tasted a bit musty.

Poor Lily, having that turmeric on her wine at dinner.

For us turmeric goes in pickles that we can every autumn.

Petra, "musty" is a good word for it, although it didn't bother me particularly. But it did put me to sleep! The physician who shared the recipe at the link said she drinks it instead of coffee, and I assume that means in the morning. With the turmeric chair I've made, drinking it in the morning is out of the question--unless I want to be asleep by 10 a.m. :-)

I made some crackers last night and decided to add some turmeric and pepper (just for the anti-inflammatory qualities). Bleah lol. Fishy/musty scent. I know it is from the turmeric! I should have added ginger, more salt, and maybe even something sweet to cover it a bit. I make "turmeric milk" by shredding fresh turmeric and ginger, then simmering it with a pinch of pepper and a piece of cinnamon stick in milk or almond milk. Strain, and drink! And yes, the root stains just as much as the powder! I find the taste more agreeable than when I tried to make the same mix with powdered turmeric (you make it into a paste, and the pan I made it in now turns everything you cook yellow no matter how many times I wash it).

Will those posters who use the turmeric capsules kindly share the physical results you've experienced? Thank you.

Turmeric is known to help with inflammation and pain, so maybe that's why my knees haven't hurt in months. But I take it mostly for its cancer-prevention properties.

Thank you Alisande. Have also read in Mother Earth Living that dandelion root and tea are fighters of cancer.
