On a casual dance floor, for example, a high school prom, youâre apt to see couples doing a hug and sway to slow music. The couple is squared-off. The guy puts his hands on her waist and she puts her hands on his shoulders. Thereâs copious body contactâitâs more hug than dance.
The general rule of thumb for converting dried herbs or spices to fresh in a recipe is 1-to-3, so 1 teaspoon of dried spice is equal to 3 teaspoons -- 1 tablespoon -- of fresh. Roughly 2 inches of fresh turmeric root will yield 1 tablespoon of the freshly grated spice.
Boil water or milk in a saucepan. Add turmeric powder. Mix well. Remove from heat. Let it cool a little. Consume this mixture three times daily for about five days. Alternatively, mix fresh ginger and turmeric powder into a paste. Apply to the affected area and use a clean cloth to cover it.
