I am here for just help and tell my story. MY english it bad i just come to american 1 year. Pm me if u want know more information. I know alot asian here know Turmeric but no one have post here to help.

 

While many of us are aware of the numerous benefits of this deep, exotic yellow spice, few incorporate turmeric in our daily use, other than sprinkling a little of it in our daal and subzi. Turmeric, a member of the ginger family, has been used for healing by Ayurvedic means, since time immemorial. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, and is an excellent antiseptic. In addition, it is great for the skin. So before investing in an expensive beauty product, take a look in your kitchen.

 

The turmeric you get in packets is not the pure form, which is why it is best that you try and find someone who supplies pure turmeric powder, or use the root and make your own paste.

 

 

Here are just a few of the various benefits of turmeric:

 

Reduces Pigmentation

 

Plagued with pigmentation? Turmeric can help even out your skin tone and colour. Simply apply a little turmeric mixed with cucumber juice or lemon to the affected area. Leave on for fifteen minutes or more, and wash off. Do this everyday, and gradually you will notice your skin colour returning to normal.

 

Strengthens Bones

 

Drink a quarter glass turmeric juice every night, with milk. The best way to have this is to take a A inch piece of turmeric and boil it with half a glass of milk. Once the milk has turned yellow, remove from fire, let it cool slightly, and sip this. This will cure numerous ailments. Women especially should drink this every night, as it strengthens bones and reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis.

 

Softens the Body

 

Turmeric is a wonderful body scrub, which is why Indian brides apply a turmeric and gram flour (besan) mix to their entire body, the morning of the wedding. It leaves your skin soft, smooth and glowing. Of course, a single application will not really make that much of a difference. Do this regularly, and watch your skin change for the better - much better.

 

Makes the Skin Supple

 

If you are planning a pregnancy, apply a mixture of turmeric and malai or turmeric and curd to your stomach and waist before going for a bath. Leave it on for fifteen minutes, and wash off. If desired, you could even apply this mixture after bathing. After you have washed off the soap, apply the malai and haldi mixture, leave it on for five minutes, and wash off only with water. Gently, wipe your stomach with the towel. The sooner you start this routine, the more supple and elastic your skin will become, and after giving birth, you will not be left with unsightly stretch marks.

 

Inhibits Cell Damage

 

Turmeric is an excellent anti-oxidant, which essentially means that it stabilizes unstable oxygen molecules. These are known as free radicals, and are what cause damage to cells, leading to ageing and various other diseases such as cancer.

 

Fights Diarrhoea

 

Turmeric fights the bacteria that causes diarrhoea, so the next time your stomach starts 'running', reach for some haldi. German health authorities have officially declared turmeric herbal tea to be a cure for loose stools.

 

All around the world you can now avail of turmeric in the form of teas, capsules, tinctures, lotions, ointments and powder. However, here, you have access to turmeric in its purest form, so make the most use of it.

Go to the asian market ask them for the root or powder it a few dollar and it last for a month or two ,and u can only do this at night so no people can see u because your face will turn to golden yellow. Cut the root or powder put on the skin all over the face can improve your skintone and fade red mark. After a month u will see total different from your face and from the past. IT can be a mircle!!!

No what i mean it u have to go to the asian market ask them for the root or the powder of Turmeric. Then after that u cut the root or use the powder put it on your whole face until it golden yellow it easy to understand. If u wash it of it will not going have a effect only 15 min and to have it work u have to leave it over night.

If u don't want to go to asian market u can look at american store or online.

Okay, so we leave it on all night...and then when we wash it off in the morning there won't be any yellow staining left on the face?

 

It sounds like turmeric powder would be the best for this (to make a paste), and after short investigation online, it's very cheap!

 

Will this work even for old and deep red marks, and not just new, fresh red marks?

Hi steve22, I think what he/she is trying to say is that you 1) mix the powder with water and drink it, and 2) mix the powder with lemon juice/cucumber to make a paste to apply to skin.

 

I've been trying this for about 4 days now i can definately tell you it works! Drinking the turmeric prevents further acne forming and applying it to the face helps fight current acne, and reduces scar formation & pigmentation.

 

I use the powdered form of turmeric. To make the paste instead of lemon juice i use yoghurt and leave it on my face overnight. However make sure you use old bed sheets as it will permanently stain them yellow!

I did a bit of research online and saw rave reviews of this! I just bought 16 oz. (1 lb.) of the turmeric root powder on eBay. I figured even IF for some reason I can't continually apply it topically and/or it doesn't help my scars, I can also drink it for internal benefits.

 

I will keep this thread updated with any progress I have with it.

 

Also, there was a website that said it stains skin and hair, is this true? Is it easy to wash off in the morning?

 

For all of the other viewers of this topic, just do like I did: Go to Google and search "turmeric powder acne" and you will find some good articles, people's experiences, and such.

As for staining hair I can't say because I have black hair, but it will stain skin temporarily. But you can eaily wash off the colour with either plain youghurt or milk. My skin colour is brown and so even if there was a hint of yellow left after washing you probably could't tell. So my advice is if you have fair skin colour use with caution, maybe do a patch test first.

Like i told u use only 15 min does not going take the effect remember that Speeds up wound healing and assists in remodeling of damaged skin. That what u want to fade red mark and scar so leave it overnight by put the Turmeric powder on your face or the root. For a few day your mark or scar u must look worse by a month it lighted or fade your red mark or scar and complete change your skintone and face.

Target sells pure turmeric powder - even an organic one. A bit spendy, but the benefits are supposed to be fantastic.

 

Just mix the powder with enough lemon juice, lime juice, rosewater or regular water to make a paste. Leave on for 15 minutes, wash off. An oil (emu, jojoba) can assist in getting any staining off.

 

Be sure to avoid any scabby areas or peely areas - the yellow will not come out of that skin until it sloughs off.

Anyway as i told u 15 minutes take u a long time to see a effect but if u leave overnight it can only be a month. I only put the root of turmeric or the powder on my face and leave it over night. U can put all over the face to make your skintone glow but it will hard to take it of just put where it the problem area.

Tumeric is not only in Asia. It's widely available in the U.S. and is probably in the spice aisle of any supermarket. It's what makes mustard yellow. It's in curry powder. And it's used in making pickles.

I slept with it on last night and while it did take a bit of scrubbing it wan't too difficult to take off and I have extremely fair skin. I just used a washcloth and then my daily peel pads but I'm sure a toner would do the same thing.

Yes it easy to take it of on the face then the hand anyway result can take week and complete fade mark or scar in a month. In a month your face will be lighted of since the turmeric will stain your mark and make it return to your nomal skin color tone in a month. Hope this help!

Do you think using scrub cleanser or baking soda can take tumeric off the next morning? And can I use this in conjunction with AHA lotion? Happy New Year !
