Golden Paste

To be avoided by anyone on blood thinners.

Can you take CBD oil for pain Scentia?

I can, yes, but the good stuff is expensive so I thought I would try this first.

Codeine, Tramadol ?

He has never offered me those, he just said I cannot take ibuprofen due to me only having 1 kidney. Maybe the pain is not severe enough to warrant tramadol.

Scentia, surely in this day and age there must be some type pain relief you can have, even if it is not Ibruprofen.
I can't have many pain relief medications, including Ibruprofen, so I wear a patch.

If your pain is really severe, perhaps have a word with your GP. Chronic pain is so debilitating, it can cause such low mood.

I would love to try turmeric, but it is known to interact adversely with my medication. The good news is it appears to beneficial for people with kidney problems.
I hope you get some relief from your pain.

If turmeric helps, it has to be a better alternative than cocodamol or tramadol.
yes, to be avoided by anyone on blood thinners (sadly)

It needs black pepper to be effective. Good luck ?

I did add the black pepper.
I am not a fan of any medication really so will avoid it if at all possible. I do like to try natural remedies first. I did manage over a year without HRT until I had to give in?
I have read such magical things on a doggie forum about the golden paste so thought I would try it!

Scentia, Can you share the recipe please? I currently have a lot of fresh turmeric.

Here you are.x

Best to keep some in the fridge and freeze the rest if you've made quite a lot. I make a milky drink with mine but add honey [which I shouldn't do]. But I also add it to smoothies if I make then.

Thank you Scentia

I tried it and it tasted so vile I spluttered it all out

Oh no Bluebelle I am dreading my breakfast smoothie now?

Scentia, due to the paste from grinding the turmeric root?

I meant 'did you make the paste by

I buy Turmeric capsules from www.healthspan.co.uk

Well I didn’t mean to put you off I like strong tasting things but that one sent me into a splutter perhaps I didn’t make it right yours might be fine scentia

I made and used the Golden Paste for quite some time. I found it very effective in reducing the pain and inflammation from arthritis. Unfortunately as I am on blood thinners now I'm unable to take it.

No I used an organic turmeric powder.

It was actually very pallatable. I made it with coconut milk and half a banana.

I just ate a spoonful as it came that’s what I was told a spoonful a day it was foul maybe it’s better in a drink but wouldn’t that dilute it too much

No it doesn't dilute it. It says on the Golden Paste website to put it in a milky drink, so that's what I did. It was actually quite nice!
