Is haldi (tumeric) mixed with milk a good remedy for muscular pain?

[VanHelsingh]

Oh Lord, I've heard of this remedy. It doesn't sound nice but apparently it works.

I think it depends on the cause of the pain. If it is a short term inflamation, then I think it may work but if it is a longer term problem, I'm not so sure. It's funny I was just talking about this to my mum. But yeah, it is nasty as hell if you have it in a whole glass of milk. I couldn't finish it. My mum said the best way to do it is to mix it with just a bit of milk until it is a thickish paste then quickly gulp it down and immediately have a drink after that (milk again I guess). That way you mimimise the disgusting taste.

You can buy capsules these days. It has alot of other benefits too apparently, anti cancerous properties are one of the main things it is being investigated for.

A big warning to all dont do anything without serious advice.....did you know too much use of haldi can block your arteries and sit in certain areas of the circulatory system....dont take advice from here.....put haldi on your clothes lets see you wash it off easily. Similarly i can permannetly remain in your body.

Yeah heard that too much can be damaging..

Thanks all for the advice :happy2:

I had this when I had an chest infection, and wouldnt stop coughing, only had for one night. So it worked for me short term, but like Pal07 says, get advice on how much is safe to have without doing damage to ur body.

I've had Haldi, Milk and Honey before going to sleep at night a few times, helped my throat as I do keertan lol so need to tune the voice. It also helps with colds etc... Dunno about muscular pains, first time i've come across this!

if you take haldhi, make sure it's pure. the haldhi that's in open bins at grocery stores has some sort of chemical added to it. we can tell b/c the colour of pure haldhi is a beautiful deep orange and it also doesn't taste bad. the stuff in the bins tastes horrific and has an off colour. you can get pure haldhi, ground up from the roots right in front of your eyes in india. highly recommended.
