THE POWER OF TURMERIC: A few days ago I woke up to find a marble size
absces on my right lower chin. My initial reaction was to go see a
doctor.He would have probably prescribed an antibiotic for three days
along with anti inflammatory & antacid tablets. That would have made
the absces disappear but also considerably disturbed my digestive
system.
Instead I decided to turn to an age old Hindu practice of applying turmeric.Turmeric is said to possess anti septic anti inflammatory as well as curative properties.
Applied turmeric paste for two nights consecutively and the abscess has
considerably reduced in size.Probably should disappear completely by
tomorrow.
Turmeric has been used successfully by Hindu
practitioners ever since the Vedic period and now being rediscovered all
over again by western scientists. They have been even trying to patent
this. Anyway I saved around Rs.500/- by not going to a doctor ! Did I do the right thing ?

ReplyDeleteO yes, you did the perfect thing! My mother always advises me to inculcate turmeric too -- in several innovative ways... like warm milk to keep sore throat and other infections away. Turmeric is a timeless medicine with great healing powers proved since ages.
ReplyDeleteYes Arti whenever I have an infected throat I do two things: Frequently gargle with warm salt water and drink hot milk mixed with turmeric at night. In 2-3 days my throat would be fine.
