Heal your pets with Turmeric

Introduction The fresh leaves and roots of turmeric have the flavor of vanilla and ginger blended in to one. It's a refreshing fragrance that not just revitalizes your olfactory senses but also keeps the germ bugs away. A turmeric bush in any garden makes a lovely adornment. Beautiful, broad leaves arching out with a symmetrical precision make one marvel at nature's special efforts in design excellence.

Native to India, turmeric has been used to heal animals for many millennia. It is only in the recent past that the miraculous healing powers of this amazing plant has been discovered in the west. Turmeric grows well in well drained, sandy loam soils, rich in humus.

The medicinally active compounds isolated in turmeric are known as curcumins from the dicinnamoyl-methane group have been identified. These compounds have been found to have strong antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer properties

Listed below are four different ways in which you can use turmeric to heal your pets:
In wounds and boils
Your pet's having a really awful boil on the toes. Thick, creamy, yellow pus just oozes out. What do you do? Garlic juice burns and Aloe Vera gel adds to the gel like effect already present in such a wound.

What you can do is to take a piece of fresh turmeric tuber. Grind it to a fine paste and apply the paste everyday twice or thrice on the affected boils or other infected areas on the skin.

As an effective remedy for colds
If coughs! And colds! Just don't leave your pet alone, here's what you can do. Mix quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder along with a pinch of pepper powder. Add honey or jaggery. Just take the concoction and feed your pet with it. Do this twice a day and watch your pet become better by the hour.

In cancer
If your pet's had some malignancies and has been operated upon, you can feed turmeric everyday. Add quarter teaspoon of turmeric to your pet's food everyday. There are good chances that the malignancies will not reappear again.

In hepatitis
If your pet is suffering from hepatitis too, you can help your pet get better with turmeric. Give a pinch of turmeric mixed with honey twice a day and watch the yellows just fade out. If you follow all the proper dietary restrictions of cutting down on the oils and fats, the chances of your pet bounding back to good health will be quite good.

Conclusion
Whether your pet has a cold, cough, skin infections or hepatitis, turmeric is sure to bring your pet back to form.
