After hearing Sadhguru speak about the benefits of daily consumption of Neem and Turmeric on an empty stomach each morning, I decided to give it a try.

I ordered a bag of organic Turmeric powder from Organic Spice Resource, and a bag of Neem from Chaqyr (both on Amazon) in November of 2023, and my wife and I have both been taking these in the morning ever since.

Honestly, we haven’t noticed any dramatic effects to report, but it’s a simple enough thing to do for one’s health, and the benefits of both of these substances have been documented by Western science as well as Vedic tradition.

It takes me about twenty minutes to make enough of these for four days for the two of us. Here is a quick outline of the process.

Mix 1 teaspoon of powder into 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl. I use a fork to mash up the mixture into a sort of dry paste.

Once the powder and water are mixed together, I use my fingers to pull it together into a square or circle in the middle of the bowl. It helps to have the fingertips a little wet.

I use a paring knife to score it into eight even portions, and then roll each portion between thumb and forefinger to shape into balls a little smaller than a marble.

Then repeat the process with the other variety of powder.

Depending on the brand of powers you purchase, you may have to play around with the ratios a bit. I’m finding that I need to use a little more powder than a teaspoon with the Neem from Banyan Botanicals in order to get the right consistency.

These keep well in an airtight container in the fridge. Leaving them at room temperature more than overnight is not recommended. I had a batch get moldy after several days unrefrigerated.

If you try these, I’d love to hear back from you about your experience with them.
