Brilio.net - Turmeric is one of the kitchen spices that is often used in various dishes. In addition to being a basic ingredient in culinary, turmeric is also often processed into herbal medicine or herbal drinks because it has many health benefits. Based on information from hopkinsmedicine.org, consuming turmeric can help reduce inflammation, relieve muscle pain after exercise, and support kidney health.

In addition to being used as a medicine, turmeric is also used as a natural yellow dye. The curcumin content in it is able to produce bright yellow pigments, so it is often used in various foods and drinks as a natural dye.

When used, turmeric is usually peeled and grated first. This process causes the curcumin content to stick to the hands and nails, leaving yellow stains that are difficult to remove. Even after washing with soap, the stains often remain and make the hands look dirty.

Various methods are used to remove turmeric stains, from washing hands with soap to scrubbing them with a brush. Although this method can help reduce stains, friction from the brush risks injuring the skin. In fact, there are other safer and more effective ways to remove turmeric stains on hands and nails. One of these tricks was once shared by the owner of the YouTube channel House Cleaning Hacks, which shows a practical method without the need to rub or brush your hands.

As reported by brilio.net on Saturday (1/2), the YouTube user admitted to using two kitchen ingredients, namely baking soda and lime juice. Well, these two kitchen ingredients tend to be safe if they come into contact with the skin's surface. Therefore, you don't need to worry about irritation or wounds.

But in addition to baking soda and lime juice, the YouTube user also used toothpaste. In addition to helping remove turmeric stains, toothpaste can also maximize the function of baking soda and lime juice. Therefore, the turmeric stains can be removed immediately.
