Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone here has used large amounts of turmeric as a treatment? I'm a fan of 'natural' treatments as much as possible and have heard great things about turmeric and ginger. If you have tried either of these holistic approaches (or another!), did you like it? Did yo...
