In my tamil culture this season is wonderful now farmers festival in south india -tamilnadu (state) celebration is known as "Pongal " during this particular season we can get fresh turmerics (Curcuma longa)in market.We generally use powdered turmeric for cooking in home it is must recipe for making various curry's . But not only cooking it is our traditional beauty recipe. Most of our tamil girls use this product on face ,legs and feet fingures. Sometimes i do . The reason is it will prevent germs attack ,it heals wounds , it prevents acne and infections . For various wounds we use this turmeric powder as a medicine to cure it . Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant and has a tough brown skin and a deep orange flesh. Turmeric has long been used as a powerful anti-inflammatory in both the Chinese and Indian systems of medicine. Turmeric was traditionally called "Indian saffron" because of its deep yellow-orange color and has been used throughout history as a condiment, healing remedy and textile dye. It is best ayurvedic medicine as well , it is used to heal many health disorders like liver problems, digestive disorders, treatment for skin diseases and wound healing turmeric has long been used in Medicinal as an anti-inflammatory. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric which has been shown to have a wide range of therapeutic effects. The beauty benefits of turmeric is wonderful especially when you use freshly picked ,it works wonderful on skin. Incase if you don't get fresh one you can use powder alternatively aslo you can get raw dried turmeric peices in indian market. For general pack using raw dry pieces you should have sandalwood rubbing stone to create a paste / you can rub raw dried turmeric or fresh turmeric in any clean mini rock stones (river side big size pebbles ) too. Apply the paste itself on acne .wounds you can be surprised about the results .You can apply the paste on entire face but turmeric colour generally sticks with the skin if you use fresh one it won't stick like the powder ,we can avoid yellowish shade on skin .But if it is ok with you apply this on face rub the skin for 2 seconds and rinse off.
