Okay so I have acne, most visibly on my forehead and i got alot of black heads on my nose. Today I have chosen to take the natural approach to treat my problem. So I have been eating alot more healthy. I want to put turmeric into my diet but i dont know how much to consume or how to consume it. Can you drink it in a cup of water? And how much should I eat being a 16 yr old? Help please. :)
Answer on How much Turmeric should a teenager consume for acne?
I drink it as tea, so yes to the can you take it in water. Get the good kind from an Indian market. It is cheaper, more flavorful, and more powerful. There is no amount that is too much... but if you take more than a couple of grams a day it will make your skin temporarily turn yellow. I found this out myself and it freaked me out at first and then I let up on it and did some research and realized I was just stained, not jaundiced. So I would say that a teaspoon a day should be sufficient do do what you desire. Totally you can drink it as a tea or in water. You can take it in capsules, but I suspect they just mix turmeric with filler like soy flour and waste your money. You can of course mix it in your food, as it is good on a lot of different things. Probably not something sweet, but all kinds of veggies and meats are good with it. I've put it into spaghetti sauce and it was very tasty.
