I take fresh turmeric, ginger, lemon and honey almost every day since young.In Indonesia we call it"jamu".Now Im 60, healthy and happy, alhamdulillah.

I put turmeric and shredded ginger root in my eggs every morning! Combinations are endless.
Dont forget about bromelain in pineapples which are also anti-inflammatories!

THANK You Dr. Weil. (If you ever get to see this!?) I'm Indian and recommend Turmeric and ginger to friends & Wellness Clients. It helps keep diseases at bay, and Prevents, but even cures. I apply turmeric directly to scrapes, bites, cuts & it keep them from getting infected plus heals well too. I made a poster on you recently & posted it on Pinterest. I'm a fan & admire your good intentions & Great work. Namaste & Ushta-te!!

I love this guy. I have followed his ideas since 1992. He has ideas... i mean.. ulcers.. eat red peppers.... odd but works.

[PandaPowerable]

I make smoothies every day containing ginger and turmeric....that's a good way of getting your daily dose if you're not keen on the taste in large quantities.

[adamsfancy]

I take turmeric & ginger capsules every day. I highly recommend them.

Mostly I discount Dr. Weil and his medical advice, but he is "Right ON" with his advice about ginger and turmeric!

Awesome as always Doctor Weil!!!! I add turmeric to my (canned) salmon salad ALONG with ground black pepper!!! Adding the black pepper means you are adding piperine, which helps the absorption of turmeric's antioxidants. Tried adding turmeric to my homemade hummus...didn't really like it. But I agree that it's good with eggs and soups and stews like Doc says.

Turmeric milk is very good, a little turmeric and honey added to grassfed organic milk is a tasty treat.

I would suggest start small if your not familiar with turmeric/curry products, then slowly increase intake if no problems, or upsets occur. As always, moderation is key.

All of your videos are wonderful, but this one on the anti-inflammatory effects of ginger and turmeric was especially good. Once a week we eat an Egyptian soup made with Swiss chard from our big vegetable garden, slowly cooked for 20 minutes with a handful of rice. At the end, Turkish yoghurt and a tablespoon of turmeric complete the recipe. This light soup tastes wonderful and is probably anti-inflammatory.

Thanx for the video.   I make this milky tea b4 bed.  Warm almond milk,  ginger, tumeric & cinnamon.  Add honey if you need it sweetened, but I don't add any.

I am in the novice stages of understanding about inflammation. It took 10 months of working as a janitor for my inflammation problems became serious. If switching from Voltaren to Tumeric (like I did), make sure to not mix the two too close together.

I've had bad asthma these past 5 years to the point where I thought I would die... I was taking a steroid inhaler and I would still have breathing issues .. just recently I've been drinking turmeric and ginger teas and I feel 10000x better!

[joanneherron]

Dark chocolate, crystalised ginger and walnuts. My go to snack when I need something sweet.

Rolled my ankle made me a turmeric one teaspoon with teaspoon ginger it helped calmed the pain. It has been a few days but found this video and gave it a shot really works. Will start a routine ASAP

[Rebeca]

I normally wake up with a blend of greens, a few spoons of sprouts and half spoon turmeric and it gives me tons of energy..

[thetastefulteetotaler]

I add tumeric to homemade chicken broth...oddly enough that idea came from the Pioneer Woman whose recipes are not what you'd call "Anti-Inflammatory"....It makes the soup a brighter yellow which is nice. Tumeric root is also available at Wholefoods in the produce section. It blends nicely in smoothies as it is sweeter than the earthier tasting powder form!

[УиллаГриин]

I'm into lentils, and I'll try adding the turmeric. Really helpful video. I'm a "Weilpreet" person.

A lot of Thai curry has turmeric too.  Great info Dr. Weil!  I have inflamed hip and I will need to take more ginger (capsules).
