Speaking of Turmeric, how much is 500mg in U.S. weight? Like teaspoons full? I

have the powder and don't know the conversion. What I found was for liquid

only. Thank you!!!

i wouldn't rely upon turmeric as a contraceptive Bon

i have looked into other herbs with far more potential than turmeric, e.g. Queen

Anne's Lace, without much convincing evidence, although some promise

 

turmeric is widely consumed in India as a culinary spice, i am sure, up to

amounts of

1 tsp for many on a daily basis, and yet India has a bit of population control

problem

 

besides which, the tumeric you have is likely quite old and fairly inert as a

medicine (still ok to eat tho), as is most of what is availablr on the market

 

if you are lucky, you might be able to find the fresh rhizomes in your local

indian market

 

my friend, colleague and Ayurvedic practitioner KP Singh Khalsa used culinary

turmeric powder a lot in his practice, but was challenged by the large doses he

needed to prescribe to get clinical results, often starting a 1 tsp and ranging

upwards to 2 or 3 tsp or more, 2-3x a day

at this dosage turmeric is pretty yucky

 

i prefer the tincture actually, a) b/c the "active constituents i.e. the

curcuminoids are alcohol soluble; b) i can use the fresh plant extract in

preference to the dry plant, which contains many of the volatile constituent

lost on drying; and c) the doses are much lower

i can also get organic turmeric tincture to boot

 

btw, a tsp, tbsp, fl. oz., cup, mL, litre etc. is a measurement of volume

grains, oz, mg, g, kg is a measure of weight

 

consider how much volume a pile of feathers would take up to equal the same

weight

as a piece of lead - thus its different for every herb

 

approx 1 tsp of turmeric will be about 2-3 g, depending on how you pack it and

how

fine the grind is
