TURMERIC FOR HEALTH

Most people are familiar with the turmeric

spice used in Indian and Asian cooking.

Turmeric is a member of the ginger family,

a native to middle eastern and southeast

Asian countries. It has been used in cooking

for thousands of years and has been widely

used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for

centuries for its many health benefits. The

active ingredient is curcumin which is an

anti-inflammatory and is therefore a great

food additive for pets as well as people.

Curcumin may also help to stimulate bile

production which can help the liver to

process fats and remove waste from the

body. It has shown promising results in

studies for cancer and may help to reduce

the negative side-effects of chemotherapy.

Turmeric has been used for its ability to

purify the blood, for detoxification and as a

liver, heart and stomach tonic. It has been

used to aid in the healing of wounds,

especially when mixed with raw honey, and

it is also a powerful antioxidant.

(Antioxidants help to neutralize free radi-

cals.)

Turmeric has also been used to help re-

move parasites when taken internally and

may be used externally for ringworm. It

may also help to relieve allergy symptoms.

Turmeric is not a ‘cure all’, however it has

definite health benefits for people and

animals. It is safe to use for dogs, cats

and horses. You can use the crushed

fresh root or the powder. It is best to

purchase a high quality turmeric

powder rather than one from a super-

market which may be grown using

pesticides and have a lower potency

when using for its health benefits.

The ‘downside’ of using turmeric can

be that your white dog or cat may end

up with an orange moustache! The

powder may stain so you will need to

be careful when handling it.

It is important to note that the active

ingredient in turmeric has bioavailabil-

ity issues and is therefore not so easily

absorbed when taken orally. To further

improve the absorption and health

benefits when giving turmeric to your

animals, combine it with either lecithin

and water or use coconut oil and

ground black pepper (as in the

Turmericle) and combine to make a

turmeric paste. Here is a simple recipe

that can be made up at home.

TURMERIC PASTE

Place 1 cup of water in a pot. Add

1/2 cup of Greenpet turmeric

powder, stir well with a whisk and

then simmer on low-medium heat

for 7 to 10 minutes until it turns into

a paste. Remove from heat, add 1/4

to 1/3 cup of coconut oil, stir well,

then add 1/2 teaspoon of ground

black pepper and stir well. Store in a

glass jar in the fridge for up to 3

weeks.

To avoid staining white mouths,

freeze the paste in ice-cube trays to

administer.

Turmeric may be beneficial for

diarrhea as it has a binding effect

hence it is very important to ensure

your animal drinks plenty of water

when giving turmeric to avoid

constipation.

Greenpet’s Turmeric is a high

quality powder that comes with

dosage directions for animals.

If your animal has an existing

health condition, is taking medica-

tion, is pregnant or about to under-

go surgery, it is important to check

with your vet or qualified animal

practitioner before administering

turmeric medicinally as it does

have some contraindications.

TURMERICLE POWDER Turmericle is a unique, golden powder blend combining the natural and powerful ingredi-ents of turmeric, coconut oil, ground black pepper and Resveratrol* (*Equitec Performance Products’ star ingredient) into a convenient and easy-to-use powdered supplement. Ingredients include: Turmeric [Curcuma longa]: The inherent properties are attributed to the vivid yellow-orange pigments (curcuminoids) that are present in turmeric. They are believed to have powerful antioxidant properties (significantly more so than vitamin E or C). Turmericle contains a mixture of Curcumoids. Powerstance (powdered coconut oil): Stance Equine’s unique powdered coconut oil supplement for companion animals delivers the benefits of this wonderful tropical oil and may also help to increase the absorption of turmeric powder by the digestive system. The benefits of coconut oil include its high levels of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) which provide the body with readily available non-glucose energy source and Lauric Acid, which converts to monolaurin. Ground Black Pepper: The inclusion of ground black pepper to the mix increases the bio-availability and absorption rate of turmeric and resveratrol.

Resveratrol: Resveratrol, a polyphenolic stilbenoid, is a natural product found in foods and is better known as the health-promoting component of red wine. Resveratrol has antioxidant properties. Turmericle Powder is suitable for live-stock such as horses, pigs, sheep and cattle and for companion animals such as dogs, cats and birds. Feeding rates: Turmericle should be introduced gradual-ly into the diet over a two week period.

Dosage for Livestock: Morning feed: 1 x 25g scoop Night feed: 1 x 25g scoop The above dosage rate is an average dose for a 500kg animal. A 2kg tub will last an average of 40 days.

Dosage for Companion Animals Morning feed: 1 x teaspoon Night feed: 1 x teaspoon The above dosage rate is an average dose for a 10kg- 15kg animal. A 2kg tub will last an average of 100 days.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK GREENPET HERBAL CAT SPRAY “Another wonderful product from Greenpet! I spray this onto my hands then rub it into my long hair and short hair cats. Not only does it leave my hands beautifully soft but it gives their coats a deep lustre and enhances the colour. Leaving the cats with a wonderful hint of perfume of spring flowers. Haven’t seen a flea yet! An excellent product!”

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK ...

VET’S ALL NATURAL COMPLETE MIX “My 3 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has always suffered with dietary problems. Anything I gave him seemed to cause problems in all sorts of ways. I was seeing the vet so regularly and many tests later that I was at a loss to know what to feed him. I found Vets All Natural when I was on the internet. I have not had one day’s problem with my dog since he started on this. I started with cooked chicken as the meat supple-ment, then raw chicken/turkey and now he is on raw kangaroo meat. He was also nearly booked in to get his teeth cleaned at the vets. I hesitated because of the cost and followed the advice on the website and gave him bones on a regular basis as well. To this day he has not had to revisit the vet, his teeth were examined by the vet at his last visit and he was sur-prised by the difference and did not think a clean was necessary. I attribute this change in my dog to his diet and advice I read on the website. It made sense and it is ‘criminal’ what the pet food manufacturers try to recommend when it comes to feeding animals. My dog’s coat is shiny, his breath is good, his bowel movements are as they should be and his disposition is one very happy dog.”

ANG RELIEF PACK “My dog had chronic anal gland problems for years and since using the remedies and following your dietary advice he hasn’t had any problems for over 18 months now.”

eczema, asthma, allergies, arthritis and many others are still on the rise.

Common health complaints such as headaches, colds and flu, stomach pains, tiredness, bad breath, bloating, fluid retention, stiff joints, constipation or general aches and pains are considered by many people to be normal, however they are all actually signs that your health requires atten-tion.

What we eat and drink is paramount when it comes to the state of our health, so if your body is not function-ing at its peak and you are feeling unwell, taking the time to consider how your diet may be contributing is a great place to start.

Perhaps you may consider your diet to be fairly healthy therefore you have not given any thought to changing your eating habits? If you do suffer from any of the following symptoms, then it may be time for a change.

Some of the health problems caused by poor diet may include:

Bloating after meals, bad breath and poor oral health. Stomach pains and digestive upsets (diarrhoea and constipation); heartburn or indigestion. Poor sleep, lack of energy, fluid retention, dry skin and cracked nails. Stiff or painful joints. Skin conditions such as dandruff and eczema; weight gain and hyperactivity. Slow wound healing, lowered immunity (frequent colds and flu). Poor memory, brain fog (inability to concentrate) & depression.

Some of the many benefits of a healthy lifestyle may include:

An increase in energy levels; reduced risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and some cancers; maintaining ideal weight; a strong and healthy immune system; decreased risk of bone loss; clear skin; healthy, strong hair and nails; healthy bowel function; maintain ideal blood pressure; reduced risk of stroke and clearer mind.

Unfortunately many people have forgotten what it feels like to be truly healthy and others may have never experienced optimum health. It’s only when you start to actually experience this optimum health and vitality that you realise what you have been missing out on.

Depending on your current state of health, you may find that when you start eating healthier foods that you feel tired initially. This is the body experiencing a cleansing effect as it begins to eliminate toxins. The symptoms are generally short-lived and you should soon start to feel much better.

Remember that it is never too late to make healthy lifestyle changes, so ideally, don’t wait until you are suffer-ing from a chronic health disorder or disease before you make the change.

FEEDBACK...

HIMALAYAN SALT LICK ON ROPE “My horses just love these, I’ve left other salt lick products in the paddock and they just ignore them but this one they all take turns at. They last for ages and are weather proof so you just leave them tied to the gate or fence and the horses get as little or as much as they want – brilliant!!”

PETZLIFE ORAL CARE “This product really does work. I have an eight year cocker spaniel whose teeth were covered in tartar and plaque. I was concerned about having her anaesthetised by the vet for a dental clean because of her age and the fact she has a slight heart murmur. I followed the product’s instructions (using a small toothbrush) and within 3-4 weeks my dog’s teeth were quite white with little tartar or plaque residue. In fact, when I took her to the vet for a check up, she commented on what good condition my dog’s teeth were in for her age – no dental cleaning required! Give it a try and I think you will be happy with the results and your dog will love the Wild Salmon Oil”

RW RELIEF PACK This product broke the ringworm cycle, which is very difficult in a household of three cats. After months using vets medication, I used the pack as instructed. The herbal topical treat-ment is excellent. The spots that I could see coming up on my lilac Burmese went in 24 hours, and have not returned since I even used this on myself, as I picked up a few spots. It cleared my spots up very quickly and I felt better using a natural product on myself and my cats. This really works.”

GREENPET HEALALL CREAM “I have used this product on my Samoyed. He had sores on his nose and ears. I tried several different ointments and nothing worked. Until I tried the Greenpet Herbal Cream Heal all. Within one week his sores were healed. Thankyou. I highly recommend this product.”

MYPONY SUNBLOCK “Thanks for a great product! I have used sunscreen lotion, zinc cream and face veils on my horse to protect his white nose from sunburn for years and this is by far the easiest and most effective product. He doesn’t mind me ‘powdering his nose’ and I only need to do it every couple of days whereas in the past I had to do it daily or he would get sunburnt.”

GREENPET VEGIE-PLUS “I sprinkle some of this into ice cube trays of water and freeze. Our dog Kaylee loves getting the ice treats and I’m happy they are filled with Vegie-Plus superfood goodness for her.”
