Turmeric for Indigestion

[Amateur1]

I thought this may be of interest. I saw a similar article in the UK Daily Telegraph today.
Natural compound in turmeric may be as effective as omeprazole for treating indigestion.

I grew some in the garden a few years ago. Grows like ginger; likes loose soil but grows easily. Had a good harvest, I seem to remember. however, since I use it for cooking Indian food, drying it out, grinding it to a powder was a faff. Easier to buy it at the spice shop.

That's what I'm weighing up now??

Give it a go. As my neighbour used to say " push it down the hill, see if the wheels fall off"

You can grate it into curry pastes instead of using it dried. If anything its better that way I think. Or at least, its more aromatic. Fresh ginger can be frozen whole and grated straight from the freezer.

I wish my ginger would grow as well as my turmeric

The key is loose soil. Ginger rhizomes struggle if the soil is heavy; add a little sand to the soil around the plant or plant in an area where the soil is loose to about 1ft deep.
