The powerful health benefits of turmeric

Adrian from Herbal New Zealand

Turmeric has been used for thousands of years by various parts of Asia for its medicinal and flavorful properties. Such is the power of this perennial wild plant that in some cultures it has been included in important life events in the form of rituals involving cleansing, purifying and beautifying the body.

The healing benefits of turmeric are many and include:

Anti-inflammatory - Turmeric has long been known to reduce inflammation in our bodies. It is particularly useful in cases of arthritis.

Antioxidant - It's a great antioxidant and helps fight cellular oxidisation and the development of free radicals.

How does it work?
Turmeric contains the chemical called curcumin. Curcumin and other chemicals found in turmeric might help to decrease the swelling or inflammation. Because of this, turmeric might be beneficial for treating conditions that involve inflammation.
