Is Turmeric the cure?

Rhizoma Curcumae (Curcumin) is my latest attempt at curing my continuing bout with PHN Postherpetic Neuralgia (Shingles).

Thais claim this root will cure me within a short time.
Sliced it can be applied to the effected area, or made into a tea.

It comes by many names. Turmeric is the most common.

Used as an antiseptic on wounds, it has antibacterial properties and has been used for cure of acne and boils, liver disorders, Alzheimer's , digestive disorders......

Having a few spoons of powder and three cups of tea per day. Interested to see the results
