Been buying a paste from spud shed, it was made in Europe. It has help control my allergies, chest mucus and sinus. Tablets from the chemist does not work as good. Living in Perth. Tried all nurseries can't get it. Can you help me. I grow my own turmeric and make it in a paste with a pinch of black pepper. This also works better than tablets for inflamation arthritis..
