This spice has a long history of use for treating various conditions and ailments, being heavily featured in Ancient Indian Ayurvedic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been used for over 5,000 years to treat all sorts of ailments.
Science suggests that Tumeric’s healing effects are down to its remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is behind many of the most insidious health problems in today’s world – diabetes, cancer, arthritis, heart disease and so on.
In spite of thousands of years of historical use and a plethora of scientific studies, Tumeric is still seen by most people as merely a cooking ingredient to enhance flavour. Unfortunately, many of the ancient world’s most powerful healing herbs have been reduced to mere ingredients. Worse, they have lost their power as a result of inorganic farming or genetic modification. However, if you can obtain some genuine organic turmeric, it may just save your life!
Turmeric, and particularly its most active compound, curcumin, has numerous scientifically proven health benefits, including the ability to improve heart health and prevent Alzheimer’s and cancer. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It may also help with depression and arthritis symptoms. So it is no surprise that this is one of our most recommended herbs.
Much recent research into Tumeric has focused on the anti-cancer properties of its active ingredient curcumin. Because curcumin is an antioxidant, it protects the DNA of cells. It is also anti-inflammatory, which is important because chronic inflammation can cause cancer by causing DNA damage. Curcumin has also been shown in studies to have tumour-suppressing properties.
