Tumeric paste

I've heard so much about the wonderful benefits of tumeric so now it's time to give it a go.

I have aging pets & a dog with knee injuries so I will be adding this to their food . Also mine. Tumeric is a natural anti inflammatory plus there are many other benefits just type in to google & it will amaze you . Every fridge needs a jar of this 

 1/2 cup tumeric 

1-2 cups water

Place on low heat & simmer for 7-10 minutes. Stirring in more water from second cup if it gets a little dry.

Take of heat and stir in 

1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil or unrefined coconut oil

2 teasp fresh black peppercorns 

( pepper helps your body absorb the tumeric )

Alow to cool & place in glass jar 

Keep refrigerated 2-3 weeks 

Humans 1/4 teasp twice daily with food

Dogs & cats 1/8 to 1/4 teasp twice daily with food 

Horses 1 teasp twice daily with feed

Start small , then increase amount by quarter teaspoon every week until desired result is felt or seen . Some stay on quarter teaspoon , some find a teaspoon 3 times a day is ideal amount . 

Amount to use is never per weight it is per individual need. 

Broccoli & cheese soup

6 cups chicken stock

1- 2 cups grated cheese

Hair

Somthing completely different for one of my posts. 

Although once you see the pictures you will see that I like to change color a little .

So hair condition can be a problem so I really need to have the right products to use . I must say I do like coconut oil & olive oil as a leave in treatment over night. 

But I have found a lovely treatment that you leave in for one minute & it's awesome.

The shampoo & conditioner is also amazing . If you color your hair I highly recommend it. It pays to buy good product when you do this or your hair will feel like straw . Believe me I've been there , I have had it snapping off ect . But this product leaves my hair lovely & soft. 

You see I've gone back to light again after years of dying it red .

The blonde 6 years ago then it was bright red then burgundy then brown .

This is the same color as very first photo just a side version as this is the shortest I've ever had my hair . Short at back long at front , basically it's a longer concave cut. 

Anyway if you are looking for a quick awesome treatment give this a try. Otherwise try the overnight olive & coconut oil trick . Works a treat .
