Hi everyone, I thought that I would share our experience with turmeric. A couple of months ago there was a discussion here about the benefits of turmeric and someone said that he had benefitted immensely from a spoonful of turmeric in his cereal everyday. I asked Prem's Ayurvedic doctor about it and he agreed that it can be beneficial. He however suggested that I give Prem half a teaspoon in some water every morning. It has now been about two months since Prem started on it. The main change that I have noticed is that his balance, which had become fairly shaky, is much improved. Often, when we go out, he prefers to go without his walking stick. Also, on our evening walk, he even sometimes kicks pebbles in soccer-like kicks which slant is body away from the vertical. I know he would not have been able to do this earlier. He is also much more ready to go for a walk every evening than he was earlier. Quite a change from a few months ago. I was aware of the benefits of turmeric for colds or cuts and bruises, but this affect on Prem has been a pleasant surprise.
