Most of us are familiar with turmeric as one of the principal ingredients in curries and curry powder as well as being more widely used as a food colouring. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has deep traditional roots in Indian medicine where it has been used for centuries to treat digestive disorders, purify the blood, for skin disorders, morning sickness and liver disorders.

BENEFITS

Anti-inflammatory

Turmeric is able to reduce inflammation by decreasing histamine levels and by naturally increasing the production of the body’s own cortisone levels produced by the adrenal glands. Studies have shown that turmeric may rival hydrocortisone for reducing the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. It has also been used to help those with the chronic inflammatory eye condition Chronic Anterior Uveitis.

Antioxidant 

Turmeric possesses strong antioxidant activity and can help protect against free radical damage.

Liver Support

Turmeric appears to protect the liver from a number of toxic compounds.

Circulation

Turmeric appears to stop platelets in the blood from sticking together, which improves the circulation and may also help protect against atherosclerosis.
