I was listening to the radio the other morning (Chris Evans) and he was talking about using Turmeric as a antiseptic & blood clotting agent after cutting himself - he was instructed to dip the cut finger in the powder by the Indian cook he was with!

The guest also mentioned that there are more antioxidants in a teaspoon of turmeric than in three bunches of grapes :yikes:

Anyway i have been festering with a cold for the past few days, so last night drank a 1/2 of water with a tsp of turmeric mixed in - guess what? I felt better in the morning :) :)

It might all be psychosomatic but who cares, for more info check out this link:

Tip: There is a reason buying the powdered form of turmeric is favoured by most people, chop the fresh root and it stains your fingers bright orange for about a week :D

Cayenne pepper is supposedly a very useful (and tasty) bleed-stopper, carried by the longhunters and mountain-men.

You can buy curcumin from health food shops. It's the main active component of turmeric, and is basically an extremely concentrated form of the spice.

Between cayenne pepper, garlic and honey you can pretty much cure anything according to various folklores.
Decent honey is getting mighty expensive though

It amazes me why the health service wastes cash on medication, give all the patients a bowl of curry and a bread and honey sarnie and send them all home, fit and cured :)
