You will definitely find a lot of Turmeric there both ground turmeric and even dried whole turmeric. <br /><br />And this isn't limited to just applying to wounds. You can even make turmeric infused oil and use it as a base for salad dressings or mix it with balsamic vinegar and some herbs and use it as a dip for bread. The uses are endless - just by using some imagination.

Really glad you like the post!! I hop...Hi Lupita!!! Really glad you like the post!! I hope it helps you lead a healthier life. To answer your question, you can definitely eat it, as long as the kolongi oil you get is also edible. Make sure you aren't buying an "essential oil" of kolongi, because that is very concentrated and is not recommended for consumption. You can find kolongi oil that is edible in many Indian supermarkets (either pressed or infused). In regards to the other ingredients (turmeric and olive oil) these are both edible and hence can be eaten. If you can't find kolongi oil you can simply make the turmeric infused olive oil. I add it to many of my foods. I use it in salad dressings, I add it to some of my sandwiches, I even use it on my lips when they are dry, the options are endless. Lastly, yes you can refrigerate it, it may even last longer if you do; however, don't be alarmed if the olive oil mixture looks like it has crystallized or looks frozen, this is just because olive oil has a high freezing point, meaning that just a little bit of cold temperatures can assist it in going to a more solid state than liquid state. Once you take the oil out of the fridge and leave it at room temperature for a few minutes it will go back to its original state. Hope I was able to help with your question and if you have any more questions, I would love to hear them.
