Experimenting with Turmeric Doses for Folliculitis

Continuing through the past week on Turmeric twice a day, the folliculitis on my scalp started to flare-up again. However, my abdominal pains did go away.

Given it's the weekend, I went back to taking Turmeric 3 times a day yesterday and almost immediately my abdominal pain returned.

Today I'm trialing a 1/2 teaspoon dose 3 times a day to see whether the frequency of dosage rather than the size of each dose has a positive effect on eliminating the folliculitis. However, I am still having abdominal pains today on the smaller doses. Will report back next week.

Is Turmeric Affecting My Digestive System?

I've now been drinking turmeric 3 times daily for 4 weeks now and it is continuing to control the folliculitis on my scalp and for that I'm very glad. But I'm not sure if the turmeric is now causing a bit of abdominal pains which started after dinner yesterday, or it could just be a small bout of food poisoning. My suspicions point to the turmeric because I've noticed it has softened my stool since I begun taking it, almost like a mild laxative particularly over the past 2 weeks.

So today I will reduce drinking turmeric to 2 times daily to see if that is sufficient to control the folliculitis and to reduce its impact to my digestive system.

Also, thought I might provide an update that my facial skin and scalp have returned to its former greasiness prior to taking Roaccutane.

Turmeric, a Cure for Folliculitis?

I had my doubts, but I was also quietly hopeful, praying that Turmeric would be the thing to control this damned folliculitis that's been ravaging my scalp and self-esteem for far too long.

I have one word: wondrous.

It's only been two weeks since I started taking Turmeric 3 times daily mixed in half a glass of warm water, but the folliculitis on my scalp has not only been controlled, but the majority of the ones I did have have disappeared with a few healing here and there, drying up. What's even more wondrous is I'm hardly getting any new spots!

How could this be? This highly affordable and simple concoction made from a humble spice has worked just as effectively as any other antibiotic, topical treatment and drugs I have consumed in the past. How could dermatologists not know about this? And if they did, how could they not inform their patients?

Why don't more people afflicted by this and similar skin conditions know about this? The world must know!

Thank you to earthclinic.com for making me aware of Turmeric as a remedy for folliculitis. Wondrous!
