Praise the power of the energetic and spiritual qualities of
Turmeric. As I always say…Energy runs
through all living things with specific purpose and the healing properties of
turmeric are worth taking note.
Most are familiar with this spice used in South Asia and
Middle Eastern cooking. But this
herbaceous plant’s inner powers make it the most powerful healing botanical in
herbal pharmacopeia.
The Arya Culture; a group of people that worshipped the
solar system and the sun as a God, believe that turmeric was a sacred spice and
its golden color like the sun had special protective properties. An ancient talisman, turmeric rhizome bead is
worn to ward off evil and grant the wearer healing and protection. Believed that turmeric contains the energy of
the Divine Mother, it will help grant prosperity, cleanse the chakras energy
centers in the body and purify the channels of the body.
Turmeric has been used for centuries in Ayurveda medicine; a
5,000 year old natural healing system of India Ayurveda especially recommends
turmeric for cancers of the female reproductive system, specifically breast and
uterine cancer.
Ayurveda uses turmeric
to purify and move the blood; it helps to remove stagnant blood while
stimulating the formation of new blood tissue. Turmeric regulates and decreases the intensity
and pain of menstrual periods, and of uterine tumors. It is well recognized as the best
anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant and antiseptic and wound healer.
Curcumin is the
chemical ingredient in turmeric root that gives it it’s bright orange color the
essential oil called Turmerones can
slow the progress of Alzheimer disease; assist with preventing the spread of
prostate, breast and colon cancer; it promotes healing in wounds, will
alleviate inflammation and arthritis plus detox the liver.
Native to India, this herb’s goldenrod root is also known as
Indian Saffron. In the ginger family and
its botanical name is Curcuma Longa. Curcuma comes from the Arabic name
Kurkum meaning saffron. But
saffron comes from a crocus, which is not even a member of the ginger family so
I’m guessing it’s because of the brilliant yellow that comes from the root
which is the same color as saffron.
Scientists are beginning to realize the importance of
turmeric in treating modern disease. So expect to see more on this incredible
ancient spice to be incorporated into modern life.
In India the pre-wedding ceremony of the bride is smeared
with turmeric paste to enhance their skin and give a golden glow and ward off
the evil eye. At the wedding it is
applied to the forehead (third eye chakra) by the bride and the groom.
But to me, one of the most fascinating qualities of turmeric is its
healing properties for the treatment of all kinds of wounds, burns, sun-damaged
skin, skin conditions with inflammatory issues such as eczema and
psoriasis.
Having a long suffering of psoriasis myself, I’m seeking all
natural ways to improve my skin and cure this terrible debilitating skin problem…PSORIASIS.
I’m turning away from the harsh, expensive and sometimes
dangerous psoriasis treatments and I’m turning to natural treatments as a long
term solution for this troublesome condition.
I
mean, I can only throw this spice in so many foods and I need to harness the power
of it in larger doses. So…I’m heading off to Whole Foods Market to purchase some
Turmeric Capsules for my daily dose of turmeric.
Interested in what I'm saying...Then here is some recommended reading for you to learn more about this Spice of Life...
I pray that a capsule a day will light the way.
