Has anyone out there ever made turmeric tea. I would like to try turmeric but would rather do this with tea from the real turmeric tubers. I understand,from my Sri Lanka doctor that you can get too much of it and that is not good for you. So I really don’t know just how much to use in the steeped tea. I also understand that pepper is an aid in helping the turmeric to do its job. I do not eat much Indian food, not that I don’t it, just any I have tried seems to let me down. When I visit an Indian restaurant I love what I am served. Any help

@beachbum80 Good morning I have used the tea as well as Golden milk with tumeric and ginger. I found teabags from Trader Joe's that are good but you can also put 1/4 teaspoon of tumeric,dash black pepper and about same of ginger in cup of hot water let it steep for awhile reheat if you have to. For Golden milk do same on stove boil it for a couple of minutes then add almond milk hope this helps .My heart goes out to Sri Lanka from bombings
I was part of an NIH published study at UCSF many years ago. The study is published. I now have a flair of my Lichen Planus of mouth, nails, and other areas. I have been taking 8000 mg total with BioPerine of Tumeric taken with meals three times a day since March. It is a challenge but worth it to help avoid Prednisone systemically. I still require some prednisone topically but hope to avoid the problems of systemic prednisone.

Thank you so much for your advise this is exactly what I would do. I will give the tea a go and I’ll let you know the results, although I know one does not see results instantly, so it could be a little time to know, Again thank you!

I have Gastroparsis, & I’m on a soft food diet, my stomach doesn’t hold anything heavy, also T1D, so sugars are limited, would this timer IV help me any , lately my feet & legs have been swelling, I also have scleroderma
I have PMR and take 1,000mg of yurmeric each day as it has anti-inflammatory effects. I do believe my "good" diet which includes no sugar, little if any: processes food etc.

You mentioned your legs have been swelling lately. Have you ever been tested for lymphedema? It sounds similar to what I have experienced and I was diagnosed as having lymphedema and now wear compression socks to help with the swelling. Mayo Clinic has some information here that may be helpful.

Has the turmeric helped with your oral lichen planus? I am curious to know as I just developed this within the last month or so but have not been diagnosed with anything else.

Hi @frogy68, welcome to Connect. I'm not sure if this is the study that @maryz was referring to but it does sound like it could be. It's from 2013. I also take turmeric for other autoimmune conditions.
