2. I get terrible feet and hand cramps. My neurologist suggested I try turmeric. It works a treat!

Seriously, I buy in bulk and cap it myself but it works for leg cramps. No idea why. I take two caps, three times a day. My husband also takes it, same reason. My sister tried it for same reason, said it worked. No reason not to give it a try.

If I stop taking it, my cramps do return. Again, no idea why, so it's not a "cure" just helps enormously.

Many spices have healthful benefits. Cinnamon is another.
