You will eventually hurt your liver drinking lots of turmeric tea. You should cook with it, not drink it with water.

@hwiseman1 Interesting. So, if Turmeric causes liver damage (bull), then why do millions of people eat it every day? Why, with a liver problem, would my doctor at Bastyr (world renown naturopathic hosptial in Seattle) prescribe Turmeric/Curcumin as part of rebuilding/protecting hepatic function? I'm really asking...

[hwiseman1]

@doston1 You fail to comprehend. It can if used wrongly. Of course, people cook with it but notice, Indians do not chug it down like Westerners. They use it especially with cooling herbs like fennel and coriander in their coking. There is an Indian ayurvedic doctor who explains the goodness of turmeric along with warnings on how best to utilize the root. Do a search...oh, it's on the right---> "Top 20 Benefits..." He has several vids. I wish you well.

I sometimes use turmeric in bread dough. It tastes really good and looks amazing too. I still had no idea what a fresh peace of turmeric looks like until now. Thanks!

@Babanyul1 Oh wow! Interesting. don't think I would have thought of using it that way. Sounds great!

I love homemade ginger tea! Pepper is such a great tea ingredient, I don't think spiced chai would be the same without it.

Turmeric root isn't available in my area but I will try the ginger pepper tea for sure.

[danieldelaney]

@LittleJawa Yea! Do it!
