Read this thread this morning and then got the special offers list from my oil supplier - tumeric is this month! Don't know much about the oil so looked it up
"Moderately toxic and irritant in high concentrations - possible sensitisation problems"
Okay, so don't use it by the gallon! Great for arthritits, muscular aches and pains and rheumatism. Also good for sluggish digestion, anorexia and liver congestion.
Not a mention for skin. However, in Chinese herbalism it is used for bruises, sores, ringworm and was also a cure for jaundice. It is high in mineral and vitamin C content.
Going back to the oil, it has anti-arthritic actions, anti oxidant, bactericidal and is a laxative.
I may get a bottle to use for arthritic clients, or those with a particularly sluggish digestive system. I'll keep you posted re the effects on skin
