In our locality, the turmeric plant is rare. Farmers are weeding out this plant because the plant is very similar to a persistent weed, barak. Their rhizomes are also similar. The only difference is the inside color of flesh. Barak has white flesh while luyang dilaw has yellow.
Turmeric is widely use as natural food coloring and a spice. Commonly available as powder preparation.

gumot po ang luyang dulaw sa highblood.
magaling ang luyang dilaw sa gallbladder sa totoo lang preventing gallbladder diseases uminom kyo ng nilagang luyang dilaw kahit two times a day magaling ito katunayan napagaling ang kapatid kong may multiple gallbladder cysts
sir ask ko lang po, gamot po ba sa panginginig nang 2hod ang luya? galing po ako sa sakit na gout? pero pagkatapos po nun nakaramdam na ako nang panghihina nang 2hod 2wing maglalakad ako. makatutulong po kaya ang pagpapahid nang luya sa mga 2hod ko?
hi sir” ask ko lang maigi po bang gamot sa mataas na uric acid (667) ang nilagang luyang dilaw. kasi po kahit may iniinom na akong gamot para sa uric acid (alupurinol) at arcoxia 120mg sumasakit parin ito pagkakalipas nang bisa nang gamot. may konting pamamaga parin kaya di parin normal paglalakad ko. mabisa po kaya ang luyang dilaw para dito.
The best cure is avoidance of foods high in uric acid. I was experiencing gout lately. I applied crushed ginger externally, did exercise therapy and avoid foods high in uric acid such as pork and peanuts. Artificial beverages like Sting, Cobra,Cola, Zesto and instant powder juices and Plus should be avoided. They contain fructose which promotes too much uric acid production.

@rossana,
its available in health options store
@rosanna: if you can’t find any commercial epsom salt in your area, try this simple and cheap (yet laborious) method that we did during our HS days in our animal husbandry subject…(thanks to Mdm Josabeth Dumanig):D We used the extracted epsom salt as additive to cows and other animal supplement.
what you’ll need:
dried coconut palm fronds cut 1ft each
vat or kaldero
1 tabo water
procedure:
burn as many dried coconut fronds (or
palwa)until all turns into almost
white ash..
gather the ashes and mix with water in a
kaldero and boil in slow fire until all
water has evaporated and remove.
scrape the white crystals left at the
bottom, that’s your epsom salt!
hope this helps….
(n.b. you’ll need a lot of fronds to get the desired quantity of epsom salt)
hi sir.. tanong ko lang po sana kung saan nakakabili ng epsom salt
Epsom salt or the hydrous magnesium sulfate. Try going to the university nearest. You could find the chemical there. if not, ask them for a list of chemical suppliers.
If you live somewhere in Metro Manila, try visiting LRT Bambang Station. There are lots of chemical suppliers there.
i once bought some Epson Salt at Mercury Quiapo, pls call them to find out if they hv
