My enthusiasm for natural health began more than six years ago, and I am still amazed whenever I discover a natural solution that works so well. A few months ago, my husband started taking turmeric oil and he started to feel relief from his joint pain the very next day!
Turmeric has been used in Asia for thousands of years for cooking and medicinal purposes. A search on PubMed for turmeric resulted in 4841 articles. Current research shows that turmeric may be beneficial for the nervous system, skin and metabolic processes. These are just some of the benefits that I found on the database.
I was also fascinated by the names of turmeric. In Sanskrit, turmeric has at least 53 different names. Here are some of my favorites.
- Hridayavilasini: gives delight to heart, charming
- Jayanti: one that wins over diseases
- Jawarantika: which cures fevers
- Kashpa: killer of worms
- Laxmi: prosperity
- Mehagni: killer of fat
- Varna Datri: enhancer of body complexion
- Vishagni: killer of poison
Essential oils are 50 to 70 times more potent than herbs. Have you tried turmeric essential oil? Contact me for the purest essential oils!

Hi, I am wondering what form this comes in. Is it an oil or a capsule such as fish oil or an herb or pill form?
I would like to give it a try.
