Healing Turmeric Golden Juice - A healthy anti-inflammatory drink you and your body deserves.
Several months ago I started to have pain in my left shoulder and arm. I was unable to lift my extended arm above my shoulder without experiencing pain. I had been including turmeric in my diet but not everyday. That was it, time to make a batch of turmeric paste.How to Take It
Pediatric Turmeric supplements haven't been studied in children, so there is no recommended dose. Adult The following doses are recommended for adults:- Cut root: 1.5 to 3 g per day
- Dried, powdered root: 1 to 3 g per day
- Standardized powder (curcumin): 400 to 600 mg, 3 times per day
- Fluid extract (1:1) 30 to 90 drops a day
- Tincture (1:2): 15 to 30 drops, 4 times per day
Sorce
I generally use 1 teaspoon of paste in a prepared drink in the morning, like the Lemon Ginger Turmeric Tea below that I drink when I first wake up in the morning and another teaspoon in another late afternoon drink or before bed. A glass of Golden Milk, warm Latte or another Lemon Ginger Turmeric Tea.

This is fascinating. I appreciate that you have made the tumeric paste so easy to prepare. It makes it so much easier to incorporate the benefits of tumeric in other things. Thank you for sharing on Family Joy Blog Link-Up Party. Have a great week!
Celeste says
Thanks Cristina, having the paste on hand is so much easier for me to quickly fix myself a cup of tea in the morning or grab for using in a recipe. I'm glad you like it and I hope you give it a try.
Emily says
I had no idea turmeric was an anti-inflammatory! Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday this week!
Celeste says
It's nice that it can be used in so many dishes, just have to make sure to add in a good fat and or black pepper. It has really helped me with my pain.
Nicole says
It's so interesting about the black pepper and coconut oil making turmeric more available in your bloodstream. I never thought to make a tea or milk with paste. This is such exciting information. Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂
Celeste says
Yeah, and those are two very important facts to know about turmeric so that it is used and gets results. I hope it works well for you.
Deborah Davis says
This is just the recipe that I needed at just the right time. My husband has been suffering from joint pain and I also developed a sharp pain in my shoulder and upper arm. I did a little research and starting acupuncture treatments and I also took turmeric capsules and added turmeric to my meals as often as possible. It is important as you mentioned to take turmeric with black pepper so making your turmeric paste recipe in advance is a great way to benefit from turmeric properly. I am so delighted that you shared your healthy and delicious healing turmeric golden juice at the Healthy Happy Green Natural Party! I'm Pinning and sharing this!
Celeste says
Deborah, I hope it helps you as much as it has me. My shoulder is feeling so much better now that I am consuming it everyday.
Nikki Frank-Hamilton says
I have heard so many good things about tumeric, but did not know how to take it or what made it so good for me. I'm sold! I love that you gave us ways for it to be absorbed by the body in order to be used and it's a gorgeous color! Like drinking a glass of sunshine! I bet this would be great in a cup of tea, the bit of spice from the cracked black pepper would give it a nice zing!
