I read an article that highlighted that for those prone to getting kidney stones, consuming turmeric powder may cause high oxalate excretion, thereby increasing the risk of getting more kidney stones. Oxalate is the salt form of oxalic acid which is commonly found in nuts, fruits, veggies, grains and legumes. Sodium and potassium oxalates are water soluble but calcium oxalate isn't water soluble. Oxalates are waste products that ought to leave the body during urination but too much, calcium oxalate turns into kidney stones. There are many health benefits to turmeric. Therefore, please advise what's a safe amount to take?

You really need to know yourself. we have practitioners taking frm half teaspoons to 6 tablespoon a day. each person condition varies. You adjust as you learn to understand your body's deficit. You cut down your energy usage and the consumption logically goes down. As you cultivate, you use less and less energy, you can save the cost of supplements.
