Turmeric has been used in Ayurvedics for thousands of years. It is a remarkable herb which speeds up wound healing and assists in remodeling damaged skin. The people of Samoa use turmeric successfully to treat lip blisters and skin sores. Mix dried turmeric powder with coconut oil until it forms a thick paste ( in equal parts), and rub the yellow cream onto the blister once per day until the sore disappears or until it scabs over.
Turmeric is a natural liver detoxifier and it is a helpful treatment for reducing the painful symptoms of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. I use it freely in my famous egg salad recipe. Since turmeric
is one of the main ingredients of curry powder, I cook with it often as it tastes good and it brings me many health benefits.
So, if you like the tase of curry and desire a healthy body, try my amazing egg salad recipe:
- Boil and chop up the eggs.
- In a skillet, toast one-half cup of natural Quaker oats until they become a tawny-brown color.
- Mix the toasted oats with the chopped hard boiled eggs and add low-fat mayonnaise, 2-3 teaspoons of curry(to taste), chopped celery and/or onions. Enjoy on bread or crackers.
This is a healthy way to vary from the standard old, boring egg salad recipe. Turmeric is one of the healthiest herbs on this planet.
