Tumeric is anti inflamatory. It is often the ingredient in mustard that gives mustard its yellow color.
You can use the spice tumeric in cooking. You can buy it in the spice section of your local supermarket or fresh in the produce department of most health food stores. It looks like fresh ginger, but it is orange or yellow inside.
Indian food usually has tumeric. There must be alot of tumeric recipes online. I use it in stir fried vegetables, soups and sauces.
You can also get supplements at health food stores or online. Curcumin is the active ingredient in tumeric that is anti inflamatory. I take one or two curcumin capsules a day. It seems to be helping my carpal tunnel syndrome and my osteoarthritis.
Happy Eating !!!!!!!!
