Beet & Turmeric powder

[kenv1950]

I've been making my own beet powder and buying turmeric organic powder.
been using the beet powder for about a month now and started 10 days ago with the turmeric .
I put both in my morning drink combo .
I've always have had high blood pressure - 160/85-88 sometimes in the high 90s .
3 days ago I started checking my BP . Its been 129 / 73 each day .
Either something else is wrong with me or that stuff is working .

A lady friend of mine mangers her high blood pressure with diet and supplements. She spoke of it a few times, but never mentioned this. She’s doing well but diabetes has complicated her diet, and she still uses no doctor/mainstream medications. This would interest her. Thanks for posting

I use 1500mg of the turmeric almost a table spoon and the same with the beet.
I've been on BP pills for years with no effect. First time with the turmeric i gaged , worst tasting stuff i ever had , took awhile to acquire a taste for it , not bad now . had the same problem with beets .

Natural meds are the way to go! Not only do they work the ones i use grow wild outside my door! With a couple of exceptions, but even those have local equivalents. Have to use caution if you're taking pharma meds though. Sometimes they don't play well with natural meds.

I use turmeric in tincture form... Ordered a pound of organic turmeric and made it myself. I grew turmeric for a couple years but i'm a little to far north for it to grow without a green house.

I can't do tinctures , can't have alcohol with chronic pancreatis , With the turmeric I add a teaspoon of black pepper , its supposed to help with the absorption of turmeric

that is interesting , ive not thought of using turmeric in a drink or make a tincture. i make a honey pepper turmeric paste in pint jars and take about 1 tsp in the morning. neat ideas. thanks

@kenv1950 Yep, the piperine helps with absorption. I added a little too much to one of my jars. I diluted it by mixing jars together.

This is what young turmeric looks like... a lady brought me a bunch of sprouts out of the blue. Was not prepared, didn't have a green house. They get pretty big.

I read that the turmeric kills some cancer cells ?
I'm only 10 days in , i'll wait another 10 days before I say 100% that its working for me .

If I understand Dry turmeric is very hard & you need an industrial grinder for it.

This is what I bought

I didn't have that experience. I used a butcher knife and a cutting board. Sliced the roots thin then diced them like i would an onion. In comparison poke root is hard to chop up. Turmeric wasn't for me. The roots were a little tougher than ginger or solomon's seal but not by a lot.

I planted some turmeric roots several years ago. I think it took a month or two for them to sprout, when it really heated up. I wonder if you planted turmeric roots in pots and brought the pots in when it cooled off if you could grow it successfully.

I always have to look up the spelling of turmeric. I want to leave the first "r" out.

I've been taking Creon prescription enzymes for 7 yrs. now , have to take it with each meal

4.25 mg
Turmeric contains approximately 4.25 mg of magnesium per teaspoon of the ground spice12. While this amount is relatively small, it contributes to the overall dietary intake of magnesium. Other foods, such as almonds, avocado, and spinach, also contain magnesium1.

Were you ever put on BP meds @kenv1950? I was because of my high BP after getting a blood disorder.
