Thank you, that is a facinating discussion - I'll have to find some of the ambe in the uk

[cure in reply to benwl]

yes it is very beneficial to control T/G.

However,there is some confusion here in India .

In childhood when we use to get some minor twists while playing,grand mother use to apply some ambe halad paste.

Now that ambe halad is different than curcuma amada(the one used for pickle)

The variety used for pickle smells like raw mango.

Would emphasise what has already been stated about the need to take turmeric in conjunction with black pepper - piperine. A very effective anti-inflammatory, and ,importantly, a safe on. Also good for the immune system and macro-nutrient metabolism.

For those without the time to make up your own recipes, supplements are now increasingly available containing turmeric some with curcumin extract and other complimentary ingredients:
