Fresh Turmeric Pickle - #4138
I recently started making dietary changes to improve my overall health, and a family friend recommended adding fresh turmeric pickle to my meals. She said it’s great for digestion, reducing inflammation, and even boosting immunity. I found a recipe online and made a small batch at home, but I’m not sure if I’m eating it the right way or too much of it. I’ve been eating about two teaspoons of fresh turmeric pickle daily, usually with lunch or dinner. While I love the taste, I’ve started noticing a slight burning sensation in my stomach after meals. Could it be because I’m eating too much of it? Or is it something about the preparation? The recipe I used called for fresh turmeric, lemon juice, salt, and a bit of mustard oil. Should I be adding or avoiding certain ingredients when making fresh turmeric pickle? Another thing is that I’ve heard fresh turmeric can stain your teeth or skin. While I’m not seeing much discoloration yet, I’m worried if eating fresh turmeric pickle every day might lead to this over time. Is there any way to prevent staining while still getting the benefits? I also read that fresh turmeric pickle can have a heating effect on the body. Since I live in a warmer climate, could this cause any issues, especially in the summer months? Are there specific doshas in Ayurveda that turmeric is more suitable for? I’m trying to learn more about Ayurveda, but I don’t fully understand how doshas work and if fresh turmeric pickle aligns with my body type. Lastly, I have mild arthritis, and I’ve heard turmeric is excellent for joint pain. Will fresh turmeric pickle be more effective than taking turmeric supplements? If so, how much should I eat daily for noticeable results? And is it safe to keep eating fresh turmeric pickle long-term, or should I take breaks? If anyone here uses fresh turmeric pickle regularly or knows more about its Ayurvedic benefits, I’d appreciate your advice. Does it actually help with immunity, digestion, and inflammation like people say? And how do I avoid any side effects?
