Turmeric
Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory
Turmeric (Curcuma longa), has been referred to as the “Queen of Spices”. In Ayurveda, Turmeric is recommended for its potential medicinal value. Curcumin is the major component of turmeric, responsible for the spice's yellow colour and its therapeutic effects. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric are beneficial for treating arthritis. Antioxidants in Turmeric destroy the free radicals that damage cells in the body, contributing towards a preventive effect against tumour cells. Turmeric can be used in the treatment of diabetes by helping to moderate insulin levels. Turmeric contains lipopolysaccharide, which helps stimulate the body’s immune system. Turmeric is a natural antiseptic. Turmeric improves digestion and the function of the liver and is useful for skin treatments. Piperine, a major component of black pepper, will increase the bioavailability of Curcumin by up to 2000%
