So, It Can Change Your Entire Life

As I start writing this I am in total amazement. I personally know the benefits of turmeric. I use it instead of Ibuprofen (I am allergic to NSAI's), for a chronic spinal problem. I have been telling everyone I meet with a pain issue to try it; but few have.

I'm going to tell you about 1 young woman, whom having tried everything thing else, was at her wits end, and did try it.

Her periods had never been regular, and always so painful, it meant she rarely worked at least the 1st day of any menstrual cycle. She had tried every feminine pain product on the market, even seen the doctor a few times. Nothing worked for her. I had suggested a warming turmeric and ginger tea as pain relief a few times and nothing much came of it, as life and scepticism got in the way of her following it up. She has been with her current partner for over 13yrs and married him 2 1/2yrs ago. Immediately, they started positively trying for a family; but nothing happened. She had never taken contraception, as her partner used condoms. Only once in all those years had she taken a morning after pill, after a known accident, and in full knowledge that a baby would not be good at that time. There had been a few other accidents but none ever bore fruit.
In the winter months of 2015 she called me from a supermarket in agony. "What was that stuff you said I should try? Right now I'll give anything a go." I could hear the sobs she was trying to suppress. I told her "Ginger for the warming effect, and turmeric for the pain. Just add honey if you want to sweeten it to make the tea more palatable."

She drank the tea 2 -3 times a day while the pain was bad, then just 2-3 times a week for the next few weeks. The "grumbles" as she calls them would start up to a week before her period was due to start, so it was back on twice daily cups of this tea. The period was a lot easier, if not perfect.
She stuck with the tea through the next month, just a few times a week as the previous month. The period came and went as uncomfortable; but not painful.
By the 3rd month her cycle had settled into a regular pattern, Then the periods stopped.

Just after her 2nd wedding anniversary she announced she was pregnant. She is expecting her precious delivery in early spring.
Apart from being delighted for her, as she had waited many years for this, I thought nothing of it until she called for a chat today, and she laid the blame for the expected arrival square at my door. Mystified I asked how I was to blame. Her answer was simple.

I have been with my partner many years and nothing has happened, and I have seriously looked back to see what changed that I got pregnant when I did. My diet has remained the same, as has my lifestyle. the only thing that seemed to change everything was your tea. I settled quickly into regular periods and no sooner had that happened than I was pregnant, so you have to be responsible.
