    will turmeric stain your teeth if you rinse with it.?????? I drink a small glass of water with a teaspoon of turmeric powder everyday but brush my teeth afterward because I worried it would stain my teeth. Maybe I shouldn’t be brushing with what this article says.??????

      Sorry, I just got my answer by reading some of the comments posted by others on the fb post.

        And what is that answer, if you please?

        1. I actually use turmeric to whiten my teeth. It will stain a toothbrush, clothing, or anything else it comes in contact with so use a special toothbrush.
          I don’t know if everyone gets the benefit of feeling like their teeth are cleaner, but it works better for me than any store bought toothpaste. I just mix a bit of organic turmeric and organic coconut oil.

            Thanks so much! This is fantastic news.

  3. How can I consume more turmeric? should I just sprinkle some over foods like rice ect.
    Can I make a tea out of the powder?

      Hey there Veronica! You can spinkle it on fresh veggies or chicken/fish before cooking! I have been using it on EVERYTHING, up to 4 times a day, haha it’s the best! Yes, you can sprinkle it over rice and pastas and so on. It works WONDERS. In the past few years I’ve had pain from running and turmeric has helped my joints tremendously! You an try it with honey, I love mixing a chamomile tea with some turmeric and agave nectar. YUM! I would encourage you to use it; spread the word so more out there can learn about this amazing powder!

      I’m using an organic turmeric powder out of a bottle by Simply Organic that smells and feels potent. Simply put, I have found that almost anything that takes salt and pepper also is enhanced by sprinking turmeric. At 70, I’m also preventively taking capsules of the curcumin extract as the researched benefits are amazing.

      Also, learned two ‘secrets’ about turmeric. First, consume with a fat or oil. Or premix with a fat or oil before adding to food, e.g., coconut oil. Second, add pepper if possible to the mix. The bioperine in pepper is a digestive for turmeric. This synergistic combination, along with the turmeric, should lead to optimal assimilation. I’m sure these are not exactly secrets in India!

      Hi, In India we add it while cooking , it is used every day in every meal, you may add a pinch of turmeric in Hot milk while going to bed, this will give you tight sleep, relaxed body , will also kill pain, and heal if any minor cut or skid rash has taken place or if your body is wounded by any means. Try it, cheers.. Rohit ( jaipur )

    Also, I would think, and depending on the situation or severity of mouth problem(s), that swallowing the turmeric after rinsing with it would generally not be a good idea. For one, any poisonous (for lack of a better term on my part) substance dislodged by said rinsing would not be beneficial to swallow along with the rinse. One may want to consider just using the turmeric as a rinse, spitting it out afterwards, and adding the herb to ones diet on foods and or in teas.

      If you are rinsing and swishing with it and getting all that free bacteria emulsified in the water you definitely don’t want it in your body. You want it out so it can’t colonize or septicize some other part of your body. That said I brush my teeth with turmeric and it whitens greatly and is much better than any other manufactured toothpaste.
