Lets hope the manufacturers don't get accused of using trained monkeys to dig up the turmeric.

Anyway, isn't it all a bit "purported benefits". Rather than an actual medically proven benefit or isotonic drink?

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Income.

 

[Marked Ox]

Should be great for the runs they get in training.

Not anymore. Plenty of science behind it now, especially its anti-inflammatory benefits...

Was going to reply with something similar, Turmeric is a well know post-run recovery aid after hard workouts.

It's a bugger for staining stuff, though. Albeit yellow.

Ahhh , I'm on the turmeric tea.
It's good for clearing the kidneys, of kidney stones. It also levitates the pain..
Good stuff.
Plus I was decorating my bedroom years ago, & I only had white.
So l decided to change the colour, so I chucked a pot of turmeric in the paint.
It wasn't a bad colour, but the bedroom stunk of curry for months...

Another top anti-inflammation tip: stop eating all unnatural sugars and smoke a fatty.

Don't accidentally drop it down your shorts.

Call this news?! It's hardly got me performing somersalts.

Sounds like a shady dill if you ask me.

Alleviate would probably be more beneficial.

Turmeric tea or similar spiced teas are very refreshing on a hot day.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Ameliorate would also be acceptable.

I do wish people wouldn't refer to infusions of herbs, vegetables and flowers, spiced or not, as teas. They're not; unless they include tea, there's a clue in the name.
