He saw a man look at me
He saw another wink- at
The priest hugged us
-He thought me blush
-He thought him held me longer
His baby fed, fondling my breast,
He caught me smile as he did
-He looked away, to thoughts
-He thought he wasn’t his
-And thought too someday I’ll leave
By error, he put some ill in my lotion
-That saw my flesh peel, my face rust
By error, he burnt fingers our baby
By error, he did
He heard the priest say_ tis better
-He saw malice in him
-Why he anointed my head longer
-How the baby smiled in his embrace
And he thought genetics some flaw-
But some tests soon stem the doubt-
Yet he awake_ stayed
Thinking, thinking –upon my leave
He touches me, noting his wrinkles,
He doubts -he quenches my thirst
He looked away and stayed awake
Thinking, thinking- someday I’ll be gone
He saw a man look at me,
-And another longer hold to me
He a doctor said, a fibroid in me
-That death in the womb he had removed
Then again- a cancer, a mastectomy
He said ‘a symptom’ my having no pain
-Now he looks at me and looks away-
At a marred chest, a charred -look
-Now most think wrong to gaze upon me
But still he saw a man look at me,
And though blind -this man,
He awake stays, thinking still
- I’ll leave

I was tagged by gartersnlace, cooks, and sweeny when I was all flued out and shite, to write 16 random things about me and I'm finally doing it:
1. I’ve been hit twice by cars while riding my bike. Both times were my fault. The scar from my hip is from age 13. The one of my stomach from age 15.
2. I wanted to be a nurse when I was a little girl and then again when I was in my 20s. I got accepted to two schools for nursing and decided poop and death on a daily basis wasn’t what I wanted for a career.
3. I was once a staff leader at Baskin Robbins but left to pursue a career at Stuft Pizza where I was taken off register duty for a missing $20. I still think I was set up.
4. I was a shit high school student [two years of summer school and a semester of night school just to graduate] but was valedictorian of the Theatre Arts department in college. Turns out you don’t need a 4.0 for that title in Theatre Arts.
5. I was bullied by the stoners in 9th grade for being too preppy. I still stand by my Topsiders. Fuck them.
6. I was Princess Leia three years in a row for Halloween. In my twenties.
7. I used to try and get people to call me Astrid.
8. I can not do any accents of any kind. I sound like a total ass.
9. Both of my parents worked in the world of nuclear energy and still produced four children. The family joke is that we glow in the dark.
10. My eye color keeps on changing.
11. I’ve had two surgeries. One to re-attach my thumb ligament after a skiing accident, and another to remove 7 fibroid tumors. Not a skiing accident.
12. I saw Drumline in the theater.
13. I met the boyfriend before Russ through an online service. Russ was one of my co-workers that helped me write my profile and pick my photo.
14. I love research and history. LOVE it.
15. I think Bruce Campbell is adorable.
16. An ex-boss asked if I could see her nipples through her see through top at a holiday party. I lied and said, “No.” It was obviously my passive aggressive way of getting back at her for being a very mean boss. Or maybe it was just aggressive. Either way, it's still a fond memory for me.
[oh god. i gotta tag 16 people now.]
ten things.
i've done this kind of thing before, so i'm gonna try and only give ten new things...if you would like a peek at the other times: here and
1. i've only loved men with thick black hair and piercing dark eyes, except for my irish green eyed, reddish brown haired, husband.
2. i long to live close to the sea.
3. i hate to shave my legs, but love the feeling of smooth freshly shaved skin. sometimes i take the winter off from shaving. my kids don't really approve. : )
4. i lived in an old camper with my two golden retrievers and e, way up in the sangre de cristo mountains outside of taos new mexico for a summer. that summer will forever be engraved on my heart.
5. i have a spot on my cheek that is causing me a little worry, tomorrow i go in for a skin biopsy. when i saw my doctor this week, she also suggested i have an early mammogram due to some fibroid cysts/lumps she discovered. i feel like it's all okay. but today, i hit a rough patch. i am spilling this all because it feels good to just let it out.
6. i believe in fate. destiny. love. grace. and honesty.
7. i also believe that love connects souls beyond this lifetime... i have a dear friend who died a year ago yesterday, and last night i spent my dream time with him. i woke up sad, but grateful.
8. i really can be light-hearted. : ) i promise.
9. i need long stretches of uninterrupted time alone to feel my best. (not an easy thing to come by in this wonderful big family of mine.)
10. when i was newly pregnant with my 2nd (gaia) i took belly dance classes. i was not graceful, but it was fun. (and funny!)

It is September which means it is suicide prevention month. I wanted to do something for this month and at first, I thought it was going to be a simple picture but... The past few weeks I have had an urge to share my story and it's not going away. People are still afraid to talk about their own depression and it is still considered a taboo subject, but that is changing. I don't know how detailed I will be, so I am putting in a TRIGGER WARNING just in case. If this subject is a trigger for you then please don't read any further. I will have links for help down at the bottom. I would also like to add that there will be LOTS... I mean lots of grammar and spelling mistakes. My spelling is that bad. lol
The only diagnosis for depression that I ever had was long term depression through my teen years. When I was in second grade my parents got a divorce and I ended up moving to a town close by and started going to a new school. for whatever reason, the kids in my class considered me an outsider and I struggled with bullying and ostersisism through my school days. my school days are a blur to me, but it set the foundation on how I viewed myself and what effects it had with any future relationships. there was a number of years which I stayed in my room most of the time with books being my friends. I would get lost in the stories and time would pass. Things got a little easier once in high school I started making a friend or two, and after school I finally made some close friends who helped me gain a personality.
through all those years no matter how depressed I was I could count on my mom to listen to me and be there. my relationship with my mother was very close. I stayed with here up until she passed away some years back. I was a hairstylist for ten years and decided that I needed to go back to school for a better education. I didn't know what I wanted to do but decided on computer networking to open doors for me as a currier. I started taking classes at the community college close by and was going slow but had decent grades. one day my mom comes to me and tells me she is bleeding (vaginally) I had three nurses in the family. two older sisters and my mom. I knew what it meant that she was bleeding. the next two years will forever be etched in my mind. she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, and it was at, I believe, stage two. She had surgery and a round of radiation. there was 4% chance that it would come back.... 4%. We barely had enough time to breath and relax until we found out that it did come back, and it was moving fast. she started out her chemo treatments and I the non-nurse was her main care giver. My mom... she couldn't accept her fate. she was full of fear and no matter how I tried to ease it... you can't ever make it go away, but I spent my days with her on the couch watching the shows she liked, I took up reading her a few pages of the bible every night, I made calls for a priest to visit once a week, (we are a catholic family) Took her to her appointments, stayed at the hospital with her, gave her meds, made sure she was as comfortable as possible and try to find things she would eat. there was good days and bad days. later on, the bad days outnumbered the good. I slowly watched the cancer take over my mom's body. people told me that I did a good job taking care of her. I had the doctor praise me, but I couldn't take the cancer away, I couldn't even take her fear away. My mom was my whole world, and I was in the middle of losing her. I did what I could for self-care, I spent moments relaxing at Starbucks when I could. at night while she rested, I lost my mind in Korean music and Korean dramas. I honestly don't know why it was that entertainment that helped me. probably because it was something new and honestly Korean dramas were kind of like books put to screens. They are only so many episodes long and didn't drag on like season after season of western shows.
My mom battled for two years before she lost her fight. family was in the room with her. we had hospice come in for the last few weeks. I remember sitting down on the ground at the foot of the bed keeping my eyes closed until I heard her last breath. At first, I felt relief. She was no longer in pain, then I felt tired. so very tired. I don't know how long I slept after she passed but it was the first real sleep, I had for two years. after that my new life began with a huge hole and the world turn to shades of grey.
I lived my whole life with my mom but now my whole world changed. I couldn't keep the place I was at. I could not afford the payments. My oldest sister, was dealing with her own grief and had the responsibility of mom's funeral and taking care of her assets. unfortunately, I couldn't help much because a lot of the legal work was over my head. I internalized my grief a lot and was afraid of where I was going to live. At the time, I was only part time at Walmart. I never did finish school for computer networking. I ended up moving in with someone I got reacquainted with from high school. I felt like I was in a desperate situation and this person was kind of pushing me to move out of my mom's house quickly. This move caused a bigger problem between my oldest sister and myself. During this time, I realized why people end their lives. I never took action to ending my life. I would like to make that clear, but I had a lot of thoughts that I would love to just disappear. I didn't want to be on this earth anymore. My mom was gone, my siblings kind of fell away, I closed in on myself not wanting to add to their grief, I was isolated by a woman who ended up being very toxic. while I lived with her and her husband and son, I picked up a second job in the mornings at a fast-food place. I ended up doing a few hours of dive work and cleaning up the lobby. after that, most days I would double up with my Walmart job. I looked forward to working both jobs most days. it meant more time at work and less time at a house I was never comfortable in. I spent my days waking up, going to work, coming back late at night hoping the house would be quiet and most times it was not. I would sit in what would become my spot and be a captured audience for a woman who honestly was not mentally healthy and waited until she decided it was ok for me to go to bed. On my days off, I would wake and usually be stuck in my spot most of the day listening to her stories and complaints. sometimes I would be degraded for hours on end for whatever wrong I committed that day. I spent a year in that house before I moved out. during that winter, I lost count how many times I ended up in a ditch because of slippery roads. Even though I did not attempt suicide, I was stupid in some of my actions. winter driving was one. I still white knuckle my grip on the steering wheel these days if there is any snowfall to cover the roads. After a year of living there, I finally moved out. the first night laying on my mattress on the floor, boxes all around me in my own space felt AMAZING. The problem was that I felt like I still owed this woman in being her friend. after all she did take me in. no matter how I was treated. I tried really hard to remain friends, but it was like being friends with a drunk, or drug addict. she had a picture in her head on how I should be and act and if I didn't fit her picture of me, then I was in the wrong. I wasn't a mind reader so I will forever be in the wrong. I came to realize that I was holding on to nothing. what is the use of being friends with someone that only sees your "wrongs". I finally grew a spine and ended that chapter of my life.
my Days and nights consisted of me going to my jobs and coming home just to wake up for the next day of work. for years I existed in life doing only what I had to do for day-to-day life. This became my normal. I got used to my normal. really quite comfortable in it... the pandemic came. I have a really good friend that I have known for many years. We met in Second Life before there were any such things as mesh. The very first thing I did with the first stimulus check I received was run out and buy a gaming computer that could handle second life and bam! inworld we became brother and sister. we make a good brother and sister the way we bicker all the time lol. So now here I am spending my downtime in Second Life with an online family that I absolutely adore but I am a quiet member. It is hard for me to keep up conversation when my SL brother is not around, and the silence becomes awkward. At some point, I don't quite remember but I think there was a time where he was busy with other things, so we hung out a little less. I have started making noises that I felt wrong. I came to realize that I got so used to my depression that I forgot it was there and it was just a part of me, but I was starting to notice it again and as days passed the feeling of wrongness became suffocating.
I am supper good at running away from any sexual intimacy that comes my way. I don't know how many times I ghosted someone that wanted to get frisky, and I freaked out. (remember earlier where I said my school days set the foundation on how I looked at myself?) social anxiety to the max with any intimacy. that type of relationship was a no go for me, but I was damn lonely. so here is me in a downward spiral of depression and loneliness... a great time to look for new friends. I found one! it was exactly at the worst time in my sl life. Things were great in the beginning, we got along so well at first. it was like we were twins. I introduced her to my family and bam... I got another um... brother. I know. I am not using the right pronouns now, am I? sorry. It is hard for me to talk about this last part. It was textbook toxic. some love bombing in the beginning then isolation from any friends I had online. anytime I had access to the internet we communicated back and forth. surprised that I didn't get written up at work for being on my phone. only defense I can say for myself was that I was an easy target. I also blinded myself to any red flags that came my way. My world was so mixed up in hers that what should have been crazy became not so crazy. I did some stupid ass things to prove friendship. and I have a dear friend that I turned my back on... along with the rest of the fam. Then one day after a downward spiral of her own, she decides that I was never her friend and I learned just about everything she told me, every reason I made stupid ass choices for her was a lie. I turned my back on people that loved me, I put my job at risk, I made myself look bad publicly, and made friends with a lie. I remember standing there with the phone in my hand with the past so many months going through my head and it felt like waking up from a dream... and I felt so completely alone. I almost dropped my account on second life and started fresh, but I had a good person to talk to that convinced me not to and I am glad that I didn't. It is better to learn and grow instead of hiding, and you know what it took for me to get my family back??? one single post of a simple "I screwed up and I'm sorry." my family along with my brother who I KNOW I hurt just waited for me to wake up. It took me time to understand how I came to that place. I need to understand so I don't make the same mistake because the one thing I refuse to do is make the same mistake.
ok. I got my family back; I patched up my friendship of my dear friend of over ten years. life has gotten back to my normal and my depression has once again taken a back seat. The one thing I didn't talk about was my health. I had female problems for a few years. they got worse and worse. didn't go to the doc. remember how much life mattered to me. Going to the doc meant time off of work that I can't afford, it meant bills I can't pay. it meant dealing with the collection agency and so I kept putting off my health and it kept getting worse. I kept getting lower and lower in blood but hey, crunching ice never tasted so good. (pagophagia) the breaking point was when I was at work sitting in the bathroom unable to get up because I was bleeding that heavy. It took an hour of me sitting there until I caved in and had the ambulance come. my hemoglobin was down to 5.2. organs start shutting down at 5. I had a blood transfusion and three more after that before I made it to surgery. I had a total of 9 units of blood that was not mine in my system. I ended up with a very good doctor that took on my case. I had a complete hysterectomy. by the time I seen the doctor, I had multiple fibroids, a uterus the size of a bowling ball, a cist on one of my ovaries and yes, the start of cancer. stage 1. you know that sometimes bad things can bring good things in your life? during this I started talking to a sister that I have not talked to in years. She is one of the nurses in the family. her and my brother-in-law (another nurse) were my care givers while I recovered, and I can honestly say I was never treated so well in my life. They even made sure I had the best foods to eat for healing! this all happened through this past winter and something in me has changed in that time. my sister and I are becoming close again and finding things that we share a love of. It is because of her that I started paint pouring and now I am getting into wire wrapping. I want to continue with painting and see how far I go. I have another painting I need to do and three pendants I need to make for paying customers which just blows my mind because I'm so new at it. I'm starting to feel a little self-worth and purpose back in my life. my world is still mostly grey, but I am seeing splashes of color.
The hardest fight a person has in their life is when they have to fight themselves. there are people that have it much worse than me that live on day by day and people you think that has everything given to them and one day... they disappear. I don't know exactly what my story is supposed to be. maybe just showing people they are not alone and it's ok to speak out. sometimes all a person needs are to know that they are not alone. I'm still struggling with depression... and I'm still damn good at running away from you crazy flirts out there but I won't stop fighting.

Etruscan terracotta votive uterus, 4th-3rd cents BC. In the Manchester Museum, University of Manchester, UK.
"Solid model uterus on rectangular backing. Oval organ covered with wavering horizontal ridges to represent second-stage labour contractions. At lower end, under a thick ridge, are represented a sectioned cervix and two small truncated tubes. Mould made, the cervical area finished by hand.Although stylised in a typical manner the model undoubtedly represents a surgeon's-eye view of a uterus removed post mortem, in a partial hysterectomy. The large central opening indicates the cervix, the two swollen tubes the ureters, and the overlying ridge perhaps part of the bladder, all sectioned on the same plane. The condition represented by muscular contractions and swollen ureters is consistent with pregnancy. The removal of the organs in the original operation, after which the terracotta (or its prototype) was modelled, indicates some type of post mortem. Pathology of other organs is seldom represented in Etruscan, Greek or Roman votives, but the interpretation of the votive uteri may have to be re-evaluated. Ureters are not present in other models, but fibroids do occur, as well as representations of a double cervix."

Pads, tampons.... just not enough help for the Menorrhagia. I know this is not a most appealing photo to men, probably not to women either, I know I don't care much for it, but it is a fact of life for me and many many other women.
I spent my day at work trying to get work done between trips to the bathroom where I'd deal with these 'things' that I use to help keep mess from happening. I thought I'd try a day without the Diva cup (a menstrual aid I found online in the past year that really does help control the mess)... I found my day without the cup was no good, in the end I required 2 clothing changes at work, and two since coming home... following my bath I did put in the diva cup again, so I'd have better control of the heavy flow. The Diva cup can hold one full ounce and I can unfortunately fill it up to 7 times the first and second day of my cycle. (I have tracked the amount I have dumped from it and I really do have over 200mls per day the first day or two of my cycle which comes every 3 to 3.5 weeks on average.)
Aside from keeping control of the mess I am going to bring this to my docs attention when I go for my annual physical this coming week. Time to maybe get a Gynecologist to check this again, see if the Fibroids (which I have been diagnosed with in the past via ultrasound) are getting too big, they may well require intervention (and to be honest, I'm so ready to have my uterus out if needed, it is getting to be a real pain!... physically with back/pelvic pain, and also a 'pain' to keep up hygiene when menstruating. )

After living together since 1929, Dalí and Gala married in a civil ceremony in 1934, and remarried in a Catholic ceremony in 1958 in Montrejic. They needed to receive a special dispensation by the Pope because Gala had been previously married. Due to his purported phobia of female genitalia, Dalí was said to have been a virgin when they met at Costa Brava in 1929.[2] Around that time she was found to have uterine fibroids, for which she underwent a hysterectomy in 1936. She was Dalí's muse
Feeling very blessed tonight... early on this Sunday Morning!!!
God heard our prayers and was with our precious daughter Toni
as she had to have emergency surgery on Saturday afternoon... the surgery went well and she will be okay... they removed her right ovary/tube, and a mass the size of a softball which has been sent for testing but the doctor feels it was not cancer but a fibroid tumor which had wrapped around her right ovary causing Toni excruciating pain. She was here visiting and went to the ER near our home... after tests and blood work were done the mass was found and a surgeon located, who was at the hospital for another surgery, did the surgery. We are so thankful and feel so blessed that she is doing good and will be okay. We are so thankful God heard our prayers and worked all these things out in such a timely way putting her at just the right place at just the right time so she could be taken care of in a timely manner and we were able to be with her and her children through it. They is here visiting us from out-of-town for the holiday which was such a blessing in that we could be with her and take care of our grandblessings.

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

I have many friends that teach, study herbal medicines and treat people.
I find herbs and mushrooms and give them to my friends……
They........ in turn…. give me hugs………..PRICELESS………
…………..GOD IS GREAT MSABU………
ling chih, and the "phantom mushroom." This last name is because there are very few of these mushrooms — less than 10 mushrooms can be found on every 100,000 trees. Reishi has been used in Asia for millenia to stimulate the immune system, increase energy, and promote longevity.
Western medicine has begun using reishi as an adaptogen, a substance which adapts itself to correct whichever imbalances exist in the body. It is used in herbal medicine in order to strengthen the immune system and reduce chemotherapy side effects, asthma, allergies, and mushroom poisoning. It is possible that reishi can also protect the human body against some kinds of cancer, because it may stop the formation of breast and uterine fibroids. It also contains ganoderic acids to prevent liver cancer.
For centuries, reishi has been used in Asia to treat chronic stress. Recent research at Oral Roberts University showed that reishi inhibits nerve impulses through the central nervous system and reduces emotional stress. This effect has been used in Japan to treat physical pain that occurs with neuralgia and shingles. Reishi is also used to prevent and treat memory loss.
Clinical studies have shown that reishi can lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol in animals and humans. Some people who do not respond to prescription medication for high blood pressure improved while using reishi. Reishi is also used to detoxify the body and to prevent cirrhosis of the liver in early stage alcoholics.
Reishi can be bought at many health food stores as well as from herbalists. It comes in capsules, tablets, tinctures, extract, and teas. Fresh reishi mushrooms can also be eaten, but only if cooked first. The normal dosage of reishi is between 2 and 6 grams of raw mushroom eaten once per day, or around 150 to 300 mg of extract taken three or four times a day.
This herb should not be used by anyone who is allergic to mushrooms or mold. No one should use reishi continuously for more than three months at a time. When used for longer than three months, nosebleeds,
Species of Reishi or Ling chih have a long and fascinating history. Ssu-ma Ch’ien, a Ch’in Dynasty historian (ca. 215 BC), tells of an obsessive ongoing search for a wondrous “chih” or fungus directed by the King, Shi-Huang. A mariner named Hsu Fu was dispatched out to sea to search remote islands for chih. He came back with fantastic tales of palaces made of chih. The palaces were so bright that they lit up the heavens and the fungus was said to have the ability to revive the dead (Shih chou chi, Notes on Ten Continents). In 109 BC, a fungus believed to be Ganoderma appeared on site at the construction of the new Kan-chuan Imperial Palace. It was called “ling chih”, the same name that was printed on silk cloth with a Ganoderma specimen going back to the Han Dynasty (100 BC to 100 AD).
The Chinese have always regarded the mushroom as having special properties. Mushrooms are regarded as "spirit medicine' because they are believed to nourish the shen, or spirit.
As such, they are considered particularly important in vegetarian diets and regarded as a medicinal food that promotes longevity. Various medicinal mushrooms are used by the Chinese.
One of the oldest recorded botanical monograph has claimed that reishi mushroom made the body lighter, which may refer to its ability to reduce cholesterol and blood lipid levels. They also have immunbe potentiating properties.
Reishi has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 4,000 years. The Chinese name Ling zhi translates as the “herb of spiritual potency” and was highly prized as an elixir of immortality. Its traditional Chinese medicine indications include treatment of general fatigue and weakness, asthma, insomnia, and cough.
Active Compounds:
Reishi contains several constituents, including sterols, coumarin, mannitol, polysaccharides, and triterpenoids called ganoderic acids. Ganoderic acids seem to help lower blood pressure as well as decrease low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride levels. These specific triterpenoids also help to reduce blood platelets from sticking together—an important factor in lowering the risk for coronary artery disease.
While human research demonstrates some efficacy for the herb in treating altitude sickness and chronic hepatitis B, these uses still need to be confirmed.

"My Body Slowly Betrays Me"
Trying to get something beautiful out of something incredibly painful. Maybe.
I've been back and forth between my doctor and the local hospital. One day they say I have fibroids, the next day they say I have endometriosis. I don't care what they call it, I just want the horrible pain that flattens me for seemingly two weeks out of every month to bloody stop.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) /ˈtɜːrmərɪk/ or /ˈtjuːmərɪk/ or /ˈtuːmərɪk/ is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is native to southern Asia, requiring temperatures between 20 and 30 °C and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes and propagated from some of those rhizomes in the following season.
When not used fresh, the rhizomes are boiled for about 30–45 minutes and then dried in hot ovens, after which they are ground into a deep-orange-yellow powder commonly used as a spice in Bangladeshi cuisine, Indian cuisine, Pakistani cuisine and curries, for dyeing, and to impart color to mustard condiments. One active ingredient is curcumin, which has a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter, slightly hot peppery flavor and a mustardy smell.
India, a significant producer of turmeric, has regional names based on language and state.
HISTORY AND ETYMOLOGY
Turmeric has been used in Asia for thousands of years and is a major part of Siddha medicine. It was first used as a dye, and then later for its medicinal properties.
The origin of the name is uncertain, possibly deriving from Middle English/early modern English as turmeryte or tarmaret. There was speculation that it may be of Latin origin, terra merita (merited earth).
The name of the genus, Curcuma, is from an Arabic name of both saffron and turmeric (see Crocus).
PRONUNCIATION
Turmeric is sometimes pronounced without the earlier "r". Many people pronounce it as (/juː/ ew or /uː/ oo rather than /ɜːr/ ur), as if it were spelled "tu-mer-ic".
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
APPEARANCE
Turmeric is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches up to 1 m tall. Highly branched, yellow to orange, cylindrical, aromatic rhizomes are found. The leaves are alternate and arranged in two rows. They are divided into leaf sheath, petiole, and leaf blade. From the leaf sheaths, a false stem is formed. The petiole is 50 to 115 cm long. The simple leaf blades are usually 76 to 115 cm long and rarely up to 230 cm. They have a width of 38 to 45 cm and are oblong to elliptic, narrowing at the tip.
INFLORESCENCE, FLOWER AND FRUIT
In China, the flowering time is usually in August. Terminally on the false stem is a 12 to 20 cm long inflorescence stem containing many flowers. The bracts are light green and ovate to oblong with a blunt upper end with a length of 3 to 5 cm.
At the top of the inflorescence, stem bracts are present on which no flowers occur; these are white to green and sometimes tinged reddish-purple and the upper ends are tapered.
The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and threefold. The three 0.8 to 1.2 cm long sepals are fused, white, have fluffy hairs and the three calyx teeth are unequal. The three bright-yellow petals are fused into a corolla tube up to 3 cm long. The three corolla lobes have a length of 1.0 to 1.5 cm, and are triangular with soft-spiny upper ends. While the average corolla lobe is larger than the two lateral, only the median stamen of the inner circle is fertile. The dust bag is spurred at its base. All other stamens are converted to staminodes. The outer staminodes are shorter than the labellum. The labellum is yellowish, with a yellow ribbon in its center and it is obovate, with a length from 1.2 to 2 cm. Three carpels are under a constant, trilobed ovary adherent, which is sparsely hairy. The fruit capsule opens with three compartments.
BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION
The most important chemical components of turmeric are a group of compounds called curcuminoids, which include curcumin (diferuloylmethane), demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. The best-studied compound is curcumin, which constitutes 3.14% (on average) of powdered turmeric. However, there are big variations in curcumin content in the different lines of the species Curcuma longa (1–3189 mg/100g). In addition, other important volatile oils include turmerone, atlantone, and zingiberene. Some general constituents are sugars, proteins, and resins.
USES
CULINARY
Turmeric grows wild in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the key ingredients in many Asian dishes. Indian traditional medicine, called Siddha, has recommended turmeric for medicine. Its use as a coloring agent is not of primary value in South Asian cuisine.
Turmeric is mostly used in savory dishes, but is used in some sweet dishes, such as the cake sfouf. In India, turmeric plant leaf is used to prepare special sweet dishes, patoleo, by layering rice flour and coconut-jaggery mixture on the leaf, then closing and steaming it in a special copper steamer (goa).
In recipes outside South Asia, turmeric is sometimes used as an agent to impart a rich, custard-like yellow color. It is used in canned beverages, baked products, dairy products, ice cream, yogurt, yellow cakes, orange juice, biscuits, popcorn color, cereals, sauces, gelatins, etc. It is a significant ingredient in most commercial curry powders.
Most turmeric is used in the form of rhizome powder. In some regions (especially in Maharashtra, Goa, Konkan, and Kanara), turmeric leaves are used to wrap and cook food. Turmeric leaves are mainly used in this way in areas where turmeric is grown locally, since the leaves used are freshly picked. Turmeric leaves impart a distinctive flavor.
Although typically used in its dried, powdered form, turmeric is also used fresh, like ginger. It has numerous uses in East Asian recipes, such as pickle that contains large chunks of soft turmeric, made from fresh turmeric.
Turmeric is widely used as a spice in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking. Many Persian dishes use turmeric as a starter ingredient. Almost all Iranian khoresh dishes are started using onions caramelized in oil and turmeric, followed by other ingredients.
In India and Nepal, turmeric is widely grown and extensively used in many vegetable and meat dishes for its color; it is also used for its supposed value in traditional medicine.
In South Africa, turmeric is used to give boiled white rice a golden colour.
In Vietnamese cuisine, turmeric powder is used to color and enhance the flavors of certain dishes, such as bánh xèo, bánh khọt, and mi quang. The powder is used in many other Vietnamese stir-fried and soup dishes.
The staple Cambodian curry paste kroeung, used in many dishes including amok, typically contains fresh turmeric.
In Indonesia, turmeric leaves are used for Minangese or Padangese curry base of Sumatra, such as rendang, sate padang, and many other varieties.
In Thailand, fresh turmeric rhizomes are widely used in many dishes, in particular in the southern Thai cuisine, such as the yellow curry and turmeric soup.
In medieval Europe, turmeric became known as Indian saffron because it was widely used as an alternative to the far more expensive saffron spice.
TRADITIONAL USES
In Ayurvedic practices, turmeric has been used to treat a variety of internal disorders, such as indigestion, throat infections, common colds, or liver ailments, as well as topically to cleanse wounds or treat skin sores.
RESEARCH
Basic research shows extracts from turmeric may have antifungal and antibacterial properties.
Turmeric is under study for its potential to affect human diseases, including kidney and cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, cancer, irritable bowel disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and other clinical disorders.
DYE
Turmeric makes a poor fabric dye, as it is not very light fast, but is commonly used in Indian and Bangladeshi clothing, such as saris and Buddhist monks's robes. Turmeric (coded as E100 when used as a food additive) is used to protect food products from sunlight. The oleoresin is used for oil-containing products. A curcumin and polysorbate solution or curcumin powder dissolved in alcohol is used for water-containing products. Over-coloring, such as in pickles, relishes, and mustard, is sometimes used to compensate for fading.
In combination with annatto (E160b), turmeric has been used to color cheeses, yogurt, dry mixes, salad dressings, winter butter and margarine. Turmeric is also used to give a yellow color to some prepared mustards, canned chicken broths, and other foods (often as a much cheaper replacement for saffron).
INDICATOR
Turmeric paper, also called curcuma paper or in German literature Curcumapapier is paper steeped in a tincture of turmeric and allowed to dry. It is used in chemical analysis as an indicator for acidity and alkalinity. The paper is yellow in acidic and neutral solutions and turns brown to reddish-brown in alkaline solutions, with transition between pH of 7.4 and 9.2.
For pH detection, turmeric paper has been replaced in common use by litmus paper. Turmeric can be used as a substitute for phenolphthalein, as its color change pH range is similar.
CEREMONIAL USES AND MYTHS
Turmeric is considered auspicious and holy in India and has been used in various Hindu ceremonies for millennia. It remains popular in India for wedding and religious ceremonies.
Turmeric has played an important role in Hindu spiritualism. The robes of the Hindu monks were traditionally colored with a yellow dye made of turmeric. Because of its yellow-orange coloring, turmeric was associated with the sun or the Thirumal in the mythology of ancient Tamil religion. Yellow is the color of the solar plexus chakra which in traditional Tamil Siddha medicine is an energy center. Orange is the color of the sacral chakra.
The plant is used in Poosai (Tamil) to represent a form of the Tamil Goddess Kottravai. In Eastern India, the plant is used as one of the nine components of navapatrika along with young plantain or banana plant, taro leaves, barley (jayanti), wood apple (bilva), pomegranate (darimba), asoka, manaka or manakochu, and rice paddy. The Navaptrika worship is an important part of Durga festival rituals.
It is used in poosai to make a form of Ganesha. Yaanaimugathaan, the remover of obstacles, is invoked at the beginning of almost any ceremony and a form of Yaanaimugathaan for this purpose is made by mixing turmeric with water and forming it into a cone-like shape.
Haldi ceremony (called Gaye holud in Bengal) (literally "yellow on the body") is a ceremony observed during Hindu wedding celebrations in many parts of India including Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra and Gujarat. The 'ceremony takes place one or two days before the religious and legal Bengali wedding ceremonies. The turmeric paste is applied by friends to the bodies of the couple. This is said to soften the skin, but also colors them with the distinctive yellow hue that gives its name to this ceremony. It may be a joint event for the bride and groom's families, or it may consist of separate events for the bride's family and the groom's family.
During the Tamil festival Pongal, a whole turmeric plant with fresh rhizomes is offered as a thanksgiving offering to Suryan, the sun god. Also, the fresh plant sometimes is tied around the sacred Pongal pot in which an offering of pongal is prepared.
In Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, as a part of the Tamil/Telugu marriage ritual, dried turmeric tuber tied with string is used to create a Thali necklace, the equivalent of marriage rings in western cultures. In western and coastal India, during weddings of the Marathi and Konkani people, Kannada Brahmins turmeric tubers are tied with strings by the couple to their wrists during a ceremony called Kankanabandhana.
Friedrich Ratzel in The History of Mankind reported in 1896 that in Micronesia, the preparation of turmeric powder for embellishment of body, clothing, and utensils had ceremonial character.
ADULTERATION
As turmeric and other spices are commonly sold by weight, the potential exists for powders of toxic, cheaper agents with a similar color to be added, such as lead(II,IV) oxide, giving turmeric an orange-red color instead of its native gold-yellow. Another common adulterant in turmeric, metanil yellow (also known as acid yellow 36), is considered an illegal dye for use in foods by the British Food Standards Agency.

Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: During pregnancy and while breast-feeding, turmeric is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in amounts commonly found in food. However, turmeric is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in medicinal amounts during pregnancy. It might promote a menstrual period or stimulate the uterus, putting the pregnancy at risk. Do not take medicinal amounts of turmeric if you are pregnant. There is not enough information to rate the safety of medicinal amounts of turmeric during breast-feeding. It is best not to use it.
Surgery: Turmeric might slow blood clotting. It might cause extra bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using turmeric at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
Diabetes: Curcumin, a chemical in turmeric, might decrease blood sugar in people with diabetes. Use with caution in people with diabetes as it might make blood sugar too low.
A stomach disorder called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Turmeric can cause stomach upset in some people. It might make stomach problems such as GERD worse. Do not take turmeric if it worsens symptoms of GERD.
Hormone-sensitive condition such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids: Turmeric contains a chemical called curcumin, which might act like the hormone estrogen. In theory, turmeric might make hormone-sensitive conditions worse. However, some research shows that turmeric reduces the effects of estrogen in some hormone-sensitive cancer cells. Therefore, turmeric might have beneficial effects on hormone-sensitive conditions. Until more is known, use cautiously if you have a condition that might be made worse by exposure to hormones.
Infertility: Turmeric might lower testosterone levels and decrease sperm movement when taken by mouth by men. This might reduce fertility. Turmeric should be used cautiously by people trying to have a baby.
Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with TURMERIC
Turmeric might slow blood clotting. Taking turmeric along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) /ˈtɜːrmərɪk/ or /ˈtjuːmərɪk/ or /ˈtuːmərɪk/ is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is native to southern Asia, requiring temperatures between 20 and 30 °C and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes and propagated from some of those rhizomes in the following season.
When not used fresh, the rhizomes are boiled for about 30–45 minutes and then dried in hot ovens, after which they are ground into a deep-orange-yellow powder commonly used as a spice in Bangladeshi cuisine, Indian cuisine, Pakistani cuisine and curries, for dyeing, and to impart color to mustard condiments. One active ingredient is curcumin, which has a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter, slightly hot peppery flavor and a mustardy smell.
India, a significant producer of turmeric, has regional names based on language and state.
HISTORY AND ETYMOLOGY
Turmeric has been used in Asia for thousands of years and is a major part of Siddha medicine. It was first used as a dye, and then later for its medicinal properties.
The origin of the name is uncertain, possibly deriving from Middle English/early modern English as turmeryte or tarmaret. There was speculation that it may be of Latin origin, terra merita (merited earth).
The name of the genus, Curcuma, is from an Arabic name of both saffron and turmeric (see Crocus).
PRONUNCIATION
Turmeric is sometimes pronounced without the earlier "r". Many people pronounce it as (/juː/ ew or /uː/ oo rather than /ɜːr/ ur), as if it were spelled "tu-mer-ic".
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
APPEARANCE
Turmeric is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches up to 1 m tall. Highly branched, yellow to orange, cylindrical, aromatic rhizomes are found. The leaves are alternate and arranged in two rows. They are divided into leaf sheath, petiole, and leaf blade. From the leaf sheaths, a false stem is formed. The petiole is 50 to 115 cm long. The simple leaf blades are usually 76 to 115 cm long and rarely up to 230 cm. They have a width of 38 to 45 cm and are oblong to elliptic, narrowing at the tip.
INFLORESCENCE, FLOWER AND FRUIT
In China, the flowering time is usually in August. Terminally on the false stem is a 12 to 20 cm long inflorescence stem containing many flowers. The bracts are light green and ovate to oblong with a blunt upper end with a length of 3 to 5 cm.
At the top of the inflorescence, stem bracts are present on which no flowers occur; these are white to green and sometimes tinged reddish-purple and the upper ends are tapered.
The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and threefold. The three 0.8 to 1.2 cm long sepals are fused, white, have fluffy hairs and the three calyx teeth are unequal. The three bright-yellow petals are fused into a corolla tube up to 3 cm long. The three corolla lobes have a length of 1.0 to 1.5 cm, and are triangular with soft-spiny upper ends. While the average corolla lobe is larger than the two lateral, only the median stamen of the inner circle is fertile. The dust bag is spurred at its base. All other stamens are converted to staminodes. The outer staminodes are shorter than the labellum. The labellum is yellowish, with a yellow ribbon in its center and it is obovate, with a length from 1.2 to 2 cm. Three carpels are under a constant, trilobed ovary adherent, which is sparsely hairy. The fruit capsule opens with three compartments.
BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION
The most important chemical components of turmeric are a group of compounds called curcuminoids, which include curcumin (diferuloylmethane), demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. The best-studied compound is curcumin, which constitutes 3.14% (on average) of powdered turmeric. However, there are big variations in curcumin content in the different lines of the species Curcuma longa (1–3189 mg/100g). In addition, other important volatile oils include turmerone, atlantone, and zingiberene. Some general constituents are sugars, proteins, and resins.
USES
CULINARY
Turmeric grows wild in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the key ingredients in many Asian dishes. Indian traditional medicine, called Siddha, has recommended turmeric for medicine. Its use as a coloring agent is not of primary value in South Asian cuisine.
Turmeric is mostly used in savory dishes, but is used in some sweet dishes, such as the cake sfouf. In India, turmeric plant leaf is used to prepare special sweet dishes, patoleo, by layering rice flour and coconut-jaggery mixture on the leaf, then closing and steaming it in a special copper steamer (goa).
In recipes outside South Asia, turmeric is sometimes used as an agent to impart a rich, custard-like yellow color. It is used in canned beverages, baked products, dairy products, ice cream, yogurt, yellow cakes, orange juice, biscuits, popcorn color, cereals, sauces, gelatins, etc. It is a significant ingredient in most commercial curry powders.
Most turmeric is used in the form of rhizome powder. In some regions (especially in Maharashtra, Goa, Konkan, and Kanara), turmeric leaves are used to wrap and cook food. Turmeric leaves are mainly used in this way in areas where turmeric is grown locally, since the leaves used are freshly picked. Turmeric leaves impart a distinctive flavor.
Although typically used in its dried, powdered form, turmeric is also used fresh, like ginger. It has numerous uses in East Asian recipes, such as pickle that contains large chunks of soft turmeric, made from fresh turmeric.
Turmeric is widely used as a spice in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking. Many Persian dishes use turmeric as a starter ingredient. Almost all Iranian khoresh dishes are started using onions caramelized in oil and turmeric, followed by other ingredients.
In India and Nepal, turmeric is widely grown and extensively used in many vegetable and meat dishes for its color; it is also used for its supposed value in traditional medicine.
In South Africa, turmeric is used to give boiled white rice a golden colour.
In Vietnamese cuisine, turmeric powder is used to color and enhance the flavors of certain dishes, such as bánh xèo, bánh khọt, and mi quang. The powder is used in many other Vietnamese stir-fried and soup dishes.
The staple Cambodian curry paste kroeung, used in many dishes including amok, typically contains fresh turmeric.
In Indonesia, turmeric leaves are used for Minangese or Padangese curry base of Sumatra, such as rendang, sate padang, and many other varieties.
In Thailand, fresh turmeric rhizomes are widely used in many dishes, in particular in the southern Thai cuisine, such as the yellow curry and turmeric soup.
In medieval Europe, turmeric became known as Indian saffron because it was widely used as an alternative to the far more expensive saffron spice.
TRADITIONAL USES
In Ayurvedic practices, turmeric has been used to treat a variety of internal disorders, such as indigestion, throat infections, common colds, or liver ailments, as well as topically to cleanse wounds or treat skin sores.
RESEARCH
Basic research shows extracts from turmeric may have antifungal and antibacterial properties.
Turmeric is under study for its potential to affect human diseases, including kidney and cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, cancer, irritable bowel disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and other clinical disorders.
DYE
Turmeric makes a poor fabric dye, as it is not very light fast, but is commonly used in Indian and Bangladeshi clothing, such as saris and Buddhist monks's robes. Turmeric (coded as E100 when used as a food additive) is used to protect food products from sunlight. The oleoresin is used for oil-containing products. A curcumin and polysorbate solution or curcumin powder dissolved in alcohol is used for water-containing products. Over-coloring, such as in pickles, relishes, and mustard, is sometimes used to compensate for fading.
In combination with annatto (E160b), turmeric has been used to color cheeses, yogurt, dry mixes, salad dressings, winter butter and margarine. Turmeric is also used to give a yellow color to some prepared mustards, canned chicken broths, and other foods (often as a much cheaper replacement for saffron).
INDICATOR
Turmeric paper, also called curcuma paper or in German literature Curcumapapier is paper steeped in a tincture of turmeric and allowed to dry. It is used in chemical analysis as an indicator for acidity and alkalinity. The paper is yellow in acidic and neutral solutions and turns brown to reddish-brown in alkaline solutions, with transition between pH of 7.4 and 9.2.
For pH detection, turmeric paper has been replaced in common use by litmus paper. Turmeric can be used as a substitute for phenolphthalein, as its color change pH range is similar.
CEREMONIAL USES AND MYTHS
Turmeric is considered auspicious and holy in India and has been used in various Hindu ceremonies for millennia. It remains popular in India for wedding and religious ceremonies.
Turmeric has played an important role in Hindu spiritualism. The robes of the Hindu monks were traditionally colored with a yellow dye made of turmeric. Because of its yellow-orange coloring, turmeric was associated with the sun or the Thirumal in the mythology of ancient Tamil religion. Yellow is the color of the solar plexus chakra which in traditional Tamil Siddha medicine is an energy center. Orange is the color of the sacral chakra.
The plant is used in Poosai (Tamil) to represent a form of the Tamil Goddess Kottravai. In Eastern India, the plant is used as one of the nine components of navapatrika along with young plantain or banana plant, taro leaves, barley (jayanti), wood apple (bilva), pomegranate (darimba), asoka, manaka or manakochu, and rice paddy. The Navaptrika worship is an important part of Durga festival rituals.
It is used in poosai to make a form of Ganesha. Yaanaimugathaan, the remover of obstacles, is invoked at the beginning of almost any ceremony and a form of Yaanaimugathaan for this purpose is made by mixing turmeric with water and forming it into a cone-like shape.
Haldi ceremony (called Gaye holud in Bengal) (literally "yellow on the body") is a ceremony observed during Hindu wedding celebrations in many parts of India including Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra and Gujarat. The 'ceremony takes place one or two days before the religious and legal Bengali wedding ceremonies. The turmeric paste is applied by friends to the bodies of the couple. This is said to soften the skin, but also colors them with the distinctive yellow hue that gives its name to this ceremony. It may be a joint event for the bride and groom's families, or it may consist of separate events for the bride's family and the groom's family.
During the Tamil festival Pongal, a whole turmeric plant with fresh rhizomes is offered as a thanksgiving offering to Suryan, the sun god. Also, the fresh plant sometimes is tied around the sacred Pongal pot in which an offering of pongal is prepared.
In Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, as a part of the Tamil/Telugu marriage ritual, dried turmeric tuber tied with string is used to create a Thali necklace, the equivalent of marriage rings in western cultures. In western and coastal India, during weddings of the Marathi and Konkani people, Kannada Brahmins turmeric tubers are tied with strings by the couple to their wrists during a ceremony called Kankanabandhana.
Friedrich Ratzel in The History of Mankind reported in 1896 that in Micronesia, the preparation of turmeric powder for embellishment of body, clothing, and utensils had ceremonial character.
ADULTERATION
As turmeric and other spices are commonly sold by weight, the potential exists for powders of toxic, cheaper agents with a similar color to be added, such as lead(II,IV) oxide, giving turmeric an orange-red color instead of its native gold-yellow. Another common adulterant in turmeric, metanil yellow (also known as acid yellow 36), is considered an illegal dye for use in foods by the British Food Standards Agency.

Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: During pregnancy and while breast-feeding, turmeric is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in amounts commonly found in food. However, turmeric is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in medicinal amounts during pregnancy. It might promote a menstrual period or stimulate the uterus, putting the pregnancy at risk. Do not take medicinal amounts of turmeric if you are pregnant. There is not enough information to rate the safety of medicinal amounts of turmeric during breast-feeding. It is best not to use it.
Surgery: Turmeric might slow blood clotting. It might cause extra bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using turmeric at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
Diabetes: Curcumin, a chemical in turmeric, might decrease blood sugar in people with diabetes. Use with caution in people with diabetes as it might make blood sugar too low.
A stomach disorder called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Turmeric can cause stomach upset in some people. It might make stomach problems such as GERD worse. Do not take turmeric if it worsens symptoms of GERD.
Hormone-sensitive condition such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids: Turmeric contains a chemical called curcumin, which might act like the hormone estrogen. In theory, turmeric might make hormone-sensitive conditions worse. However, some research shows that turmeric reduces the effects of estrogen in some hormone-sensitive cancer cells. Therefore, turmeric might have beneficial effects on hormone-sensitive conditions. Until more is known, use cautiously if you have a condition that might be made worse by exposure to hormones.
Infertility: Turmeric might lower testosterone levels and decrease sperm movement when taken by mouth by men. This might reduce fertility. Turmeric should be used cautiously by people trying to have a baby.
Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with TURMERIC
Turmeric might slow blood clotting. Taking turmeric along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
