Tumeric Milk

Are you seeing a rheumatologist?

No, but I have had painful joints for many years, and so far the GP is not interested as I am reasonably fit and a good weight for my age. The only advice I have been given is to stop drinking, which isn't going to happen !

Can you make a large batch and keep some in the fridge, or even freeze it?
I suspect time v good taste may a case of you can have one or the other, but not both.

I think you are probably right, I don't find the taste offensive, but was hoping to find something so good it becomes a daily treat.

Mix it into a cocktail?

The turmeric claims are not proven, and many studies have been done.

Sounds good, but I am after something a little quicker to make.

Maybe try it in a slow cooker if you have one. Then you could put it on before you go out for a ride and it would be done ready when you get back. Or put it on overnight so you can neck it quick before you go out in the morning.

Spoken like a true Finn (I lived with a girl from Tampere for a couple of years)

Have you tried this, or similar

I presume you are not on any medication. Turmeric is definitely not recommended along with some medication for arthritis and rheumatism would probably be included. No warnings are given with turmeric but my GP warned me off it.

No I am not taking any medication, and am not expecting this to be a wonder cure, just interested to give it a try over a few weeks.
