I just started taking it orally the other day. I tend to regret using things topically, as I did earlier this week with vitamin C and epsom salts. I just bought pure turmeric powder from Bulk Barn, though I wish I'd gotten organic, so try to find organic turmeric powder if you can. You should put it on your food or gulp it down with some water, too. If you do that, buy black pepper as well and take them together, it supposedly enhances the turmeric's effects. Good luck!

The only thing I apply topically that actually hels are aloe vera gel ( from tge plant, takes time though) and Aztex healing clay with Bragg's ACV. I let tge mask completely dry ( takes about 1 to 2 hours for me) then I peel some pieces of.it off. I see the gunk its pulling out. O.o I was amazed by.it hehe give it a try
