Turmeric for grey

[mandymmr]

Ok...I bought some to help with Dim & his bad leg. How do I go about this? How much to use, how often, how to use it? I've seen numerous things about using this for a broad range of animals & problem helpers.
I want to use this for my dog too. How do I do that?

Is it powdered? I know that its anti-inflammatory and its potent. I use for myself for my arthritis, but the taste is strong, even with the tiniest pinch. So I would find holistic vet and ask them.

Yes it is powder. Do you know how dosage works/goes?

Tumeric root looks like ginger root...I'd feel safer with the real thing.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand

Using powder is not as good as using the root. I think that is what @camelotshadow meant.

Root is natural & not heated or dried so has the & most active ingredients & I think just safer to administer if she will chew it.

You can find fresh turmeric in health food grocery stores. Looks like a narrower version of ginger.

It almost looks like a really really tiny sweet potato. I bought some the other week from the supermarket to try, it smells awful so I think I would rather use the powdered form in future. The powdered form does not smell horrid, but the root is so strong it is very pungent. I think most things in powder form have a lot of the flavor and potency removed through the drying process. This is why a lot of herbal remedies will only work if the herb is fresh.
As with everything, fresh will always be the best option.

Sorry I don't know the dosage, I have given it to Bebe tiniest pinch, he didn't eat any of it or his food that morning.
