[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 464474, member: 1233"] You can get turmeric at most grocery stores. I get a lot of spices from [url]www.myspicesage.com[/url] because they are very fresh, fast and cheap shipping, often if you buy something you get a freebie that is listed on the home page plus you get a free sample of one of a very long list of spices to choose from. Last time I got a sample from them it was 1/4 inch diced jalepeno that had been dried. It didn't last an entire evening here - husband and thank you ate it liek it was candy, lol! Their prices, even after shipping, are extremely good compared to any stores around me. Turmeric is often used in dishes that call for saffron because it gives the yellow color that you must use a lot of saffron to get (or know how to properly use saffron, and not many in the US use a lot of it) and because saffron is so incredibly expensive and turmeric is not. It is also used in a lot of Indian foods, I think. I am sure old turmeric would not hurt you to use, but you will get the best benefits from fresh. If Jody got that kind of result from old turmeric, think how fresh would work! If you have sensitive skin, consider washing it with oatmeal and water instead of soaps or cleansers. Just take a handful of oats (old fashioned or quick cooking, both work), get them wet, and work them into your skin. They will remove dirt and oil, will exfoliate very very gently, will soothe problem skin/rashes, and is totally biodegradeable, unlike so many cleansers. If you need something a bit stronger, add a pinch or two of baking soda to the oats. I keep a jar in the bathroom with oats and some baking soda mixed in and use that on my skin. [/QUOTE]
