Turmeric is a wonderful natural healer of many ailments inside and outside our bodies. Ancient Indians used it in their medicines with great effect.

Turmeric, Amla, cloves,black pepper are some of the household things which are great natural healers.

Thank you. This is very helpful to me just now as I have some crack in my foot. . 

In fact almost all spices have medicinal values and were used to heal and get relief by Indians till allopathic medicines came on the scene. 

Now, the scenario is changing after seeing the side effects of Allopathic medicines. Of course the change is slow. But there is a change.

Yes. But yet allopatheic medicines are good for quick relief.  My homoeopathetic doctor sauggests antibiotic medicines just for temporary relief but homeopathetic for permanent cure.

I agree turmeric is also added as spice to indian food because of its medicinal properties. Allophatic medicines are used for temporary relief but such home remedies and ayurvedic medicines and even homeo medicines treat the cause of the problem and provide a permanent relief.

All the alternative medicines are gaining ground all over the world. Because they are non invasive therapeutic practices sans side effects.

Recently an elderly patient was suffering from severe constipation. Allopathy doctors prescribed their medicines which did not have the desired effect for nearly a week. Till a chemist suggested to the family to give two tablets of an Ayurvedic preparation and next day the patient was relieved of her constipation. it would be an idea worth considering that allopathy doctors should also be taught something about alternative medicines.

Of late there are a few doctors who are suggesting alternativetreatments too.
