Turmeric

Well when I was in India I was introduced to Turmeric as a yellow coloured powder that you streaked your forehead with when visiting a temple.

Then it was only after taking some training in how Ayurveda theory that food/spice we eat can have a positive or negative effect on us. I also learned the wonderful effects this spice has on our body.

So it is with a great deal of respect that I offer this root to you to review.  In India you will see Tumeric used in most of the dishes. Now in North America I want you to notice it’s use as a medicinal supplement. Turmeric by some is known as a “natural wonder” for its many healing properties.

Here is a list of some of the great things that turmeric has long been used:

1. It is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, useful in disinfecting cuts and burns.
2. When prepared along with cauliflower, it has shown to prevent prostate cancer and stop the growth of existing prostate cancer.
3. It has prevented breast cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice.
4. May prevent melanoma and cause existing melanoma cells to commit suicide.
5. Is a natural liver detoxifier.
6. May prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by removing amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain.
7. May prevent metastases from occurring in many different forms of cancer.
8. It is a potent natural anti-inflammatory that works as well as many anti-inflammatory drugs but without the side effects. therefor it is a natural treatment for arthritis.
9. Has shown promise in slowing the progression of multiple sclerosis in mice.
10. Is a natural painkiller.
11. Has long been used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression
12. Has been shown to stop the growth of new blood vessels in tumors.
13. Speeds up wound healing and assists in remodeling of damaged skin.
14. May help in the treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.
15. May aid in fat metabolism and help in weight management.

The great thing is, turmeric taste is not strong and can be added to so many recipes while boosting the healing benefits of meal.  I have also added it to some of our juices are found it to taste quite nice.  Sprinkle it on salads, or add some lemon juice and turmeric to half an avocado.  This one is an easy one to include in your daily lifestyle.

Turmeric can be found in powdered form (use in recipes, juices etc) but also in capsule form if you would rather not worry about the meal aspect and just get the benefits straight from the source.
