        How long does the medicine in freshly ground black pepper last? a day? a week?

          I’d guess days or a week. When I use it, I fresh grind it into the medicine I’m going to take.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

              When using Turmeric, how much freshly ground pepper is about right?  Just a quick “turn” of the grinder – about like you might put on a baked potato or so?  Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m sadly a detail person, and that’s why I love this class so much – LOTS of great detail on all manner of things – thanks for a wonderful class and forum area!

              I’ve never measured, but I do several turns. I’d guess it’s 1/8-1/4 teaspoon.

              I also take fresh ground pepper when I feel like I’m coming down with something. Several spins from the grinder in a little water often does the trick.
