What Are the Uses of Haldi in Ayurveda? - #11209
Haldi (turmeric) has always been a part of my family’s cooking, but I recently learned that it plays a significant role in traditional medicine too. Can someone explain the haldi uses in Ayurveda and how it can benefit health beyond just being a spice? I’ve been dealing with joint pain and stiffness, and I’ve read that turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties. Is it effective for reducing joint pain when consumed as part of a diet, or should I consider supplements like turmeric capsules? Does applying a turmeric paste to the affected areas help as well? I’ve also heard that haldi is great for skin care. Some people use turmeric masks to reduce acne and brighten their skin. Does this actually work, and how often should it be used? Are there any risks of staining or irritation when applying turmeric directly to the skin? Another thing I’m curious about is turmeric’s use for immunity and overall health. Many people recommend drinking “haldi doodh” (turmeric milk) for colds and sore throats. How effective is this remedy, and are there other ways to consume turmeric for immunity boosting? Lastly, are there any specific precautions to keep in mind when using haldi in Ayurvedic treatments? For example, can too much turmeric cause side effects, especially if consumed daily? If anyone has personal experience with haldi uses in Ayurveda, I’d love to hear your tips and stories. What remedies worked for you, and are there any specific recipes or formulations you’d recommend?
