Turmeric, oregano, other questions - maybe OT

[Guest guest]

I'm thinking about getting some turmeric and oregano capsules for

medicinal purposes. Has anybody taken these spices as supplements?

Do you know if they taste good enough be opened up and a little

sprinkled on food? I'd like to get culinary as well as medicinal use

from them. Has anybody found therapeutic benefits from the amounts of

these spices used in cooking? (anti-fungal, immune enhancement, etc)

 

Please forgive if this is considered off topic. Please feel free to

respond to me by private mail if it's not a topic for the group.

 

Thanks,

Su

my personal opinion is that there may be medicinal properties but you'd need to

consume a lot. capsules may be better for getting more into you. but please

don't spend money on capsules to open up & add to food! Go purchase the stuff &

cook with it!! yumyumyum! I have cinnamon capsules in addition to a BIG

container of cinnamon that gets consumed within a few months time.

A great group to get some answers to questions such as these, where food is

medicine and medicine is food, is ayurveda . There are many

qualified Vaidyas, or Ayurvedic Medical Pracitioners and M.D. doctors available

to give you very precise answers from that tradition of healing.

 

Om Shanti,

Turmeric powder can be added in cooked vegetables. It can also be applied to

wound on body of human being and animals too. It is very good healing agent. It

should be used in very very little quantity ( For ex. 1/4th tea spoon). We use

it daily. We also use it as face mask of gram glour.

Hi Su,

 

I take turmeric, cranberry extract and garlic supplements. I also eat

turmeric and garlic as foods, and drink cranberry juice, but you don't

usually consume these foods daily. I think it is a good idea to take

antioxidant supplements unless you have a really excellent diet with

lots of fresh organic fruits and vegetables daily.

Hi Su,

 

I would have thought any question about cooking with spices was

appropriate in a vegetarian spice list. The Oriental cookery I know

often involves turmeric, it's one of the main ingredients of curries

and is also used for making yellow rice yellow (unless you can afford

saffron in the quantities required), we also use it a lot in

stir-fries. And does it taste goed? wow! Lately I sought medical

advice (via the Web) for a condition and learnt of the health-giving

effects of turmeric especially in combination with cruciferous

vegetables - which we'd been doing all the time without knowing how

goed it was! (can give references if required but that _would_ be off

topic!)

 

Oregano is also delicious, usually in Mediterranean cookery. Give me

the raw ingredients any time, never mind the capsules!
