No he didn't he just recommended using a pinch or two. this is very unscientific, however he did help me with a problem with chronic flatuance :) He gave me two pills which fixed my problem with my bowels.
The problem with Indian medicine is that a lot of the information is kept within families. For many of these families keeping this information private is a means of keeping their income. Yes a lot of information has been researched by Indian pharmaceutical companies and universities however a lot of information is still kept private.
After my own experiences with Indian herbs I definitely have come to respect their power. My friend didn't give me a reason why tumeric was dangerous however he was strongly insistent that high dosages were dangerous. Apparently the women from his region of India used to put tumeric powder on their faces as a form of natural hair removal. On the positive side he strongly agreed that there was a lot of favourable uses for tumeric when used in moderate doses.
