ReplyDeleteWhen the skin becomes and and it get gets wrinkles, it means, the circulation of the blood in the tissues is not sufficient. These dead cells have to be stimulated and energised to make them live again. I have prepared some formulations in oil. This oil is massaged gently for about half an hour daily on- say the back of the hands, face, neck, feet, breasts and other parts if you need to energies them. This formulation increases the circulation of the blood and the skin becomes tightened and starts glowing. This treatment has to be continuously taken for about two months.
ReplyDeleteIt removes the aging affect from these areas to a greater extent. I have used it with some exercises and the results were very satisfying.
So I read about the benefits of Turmeric on the skin and decided to try it. Please note that if you are white your skin will turn bright yellow if you put turmeric on it for even 30 seconds. I was able to scrub the color almost off with a industrial strength scrubber but I was scared there for a while. So for white skin it is better to take the Turmeric internally or use it before a heavy duty scrub...

ReplyDeleteAnyway, one way to treat them, as well as razor bumps, is to take a few aspirin, crush them up and add just enough water to make a paste. Apply the paste, then lay back and relax for about twenty minute with a cold washcloth covering the area. Most of the razor bump creams, and ingrown hair products are nothing more than acetylsalicylic acid, which is what aspirin is. A small jar of the creme will cost you about $6, while a bottle of aspirin that will make the same amount of creme will cost you about a dollar fifty.

ReplyDeleteturmeric reduces & cures acne , pimple & black heads, its true
ReplyDeleteTurmeric has been used from times imemmorial as a traditional medicine and Lepan (ointment) for beauty and fairness of skin and acne pimple, scars, freckles and the like. It combines well with Rakthachandanam (Red sandalwood) or chandanam (sandalwood), Basal, coconut milk, Green gram, Neem leaves, lemon juice, white of egg, butter,. rose water are few of the components which can lead one to clear skin.

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that despite the amount of benefits that curcumin has, the US lobbyists are still working hard to keep its health benefits under wraps. The cancer rate in the US is 3x higher than China, and almost 10x higher than India but, tackling the sources of cancer would put too much of a dent in profits of not just corporations but the gov, too. For example, my friend was using one of those belt things from http://www.abbelts.com and after about 5 years of use, he developed a tumor in kidney. I'm not a doctor, but my gut tells me that the ab belt was responsible... if it was, it would be one of many carcinogenic products that american companies are shoving down our throats.

ReplyDeleteI used it as a paste on an infected insect bite and it cleared it up in three days.
ReplyDeleteTURMERIC IS GOOD FOR HEALTH BUT DRINK IT WITH MILK TO ACHIEVE THE FULL BENEFIT OF IT.
ReplyDeleteI take turmeric... its antioxidant benefits are compounded when you take it with green tea, or EGG caplets... you can even sprinkle some in your green tea, it actually tastes pretty good. Remember that our bodies heal themselves, turmeric may help... but its silly to say things like i got the flu and took turmeric and it cleared it up in less than a week
ReplyDeleteTurmeric also acts as an excellent anti-scarring agent when 1 tablespoon is mixed with a few drops of milk and applied on skin for 15 minutes. It is also used for spots due to pigmentation or blotches, and also for diseases like eczema.

This is something to try, will check it out, turmeric powder must be available in local stores too?
ReplyDeleteCan i apply the tumeric to remove body hair even though the hair might be prickly? Will it in time make the hair more softer?
ReplyDeleteIt is said that application of turmeric helps to reduce unwanted hair to a certain extent. But it may take a long time. It's great for the skin too especially as it has antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. You may consider applying it everyday but the drawback is that the slightly yellowish tinge that it gives to the skin persists even after washing. Why don't you also take a look at this homemade oil for unwanted hair?
DeleteMixture of besan (gram flour) and turmeric in yoghurt/raw milk/water can help women lighten the stretch marks.
ReplyDeleteYou can also use turmeric and sandalwood mixture as an acne face pack and wash it off in approximately 10 minutes.
