What is it?

Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, found in Indonesia and southern India, and is known for its widespread use in many South Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Widely used as a spice, it increasingly has been recognised as a powerful medicinal remedy that influences many aspects of your health. Most notably, turmeric has been found to reduce tumours in animals by an astounding 81% in over 9 studies.  Researchers at UCLA have even found that cur cumin is able to block cancer growth.

In turmeric is also something known as curcumin, a natural phenol. Named for the plant from which it’s derived, curcumin is the pigment that gives turmeric its distinctive color and is thought to be the source of the many medicinal effects turmeric is being known to have. According to peer-reviewd research, curcumin alone is known to positively impact over 560 diseases.

While commonly used medicinally for decades, turmeric as an herbal medicine caught the attention of the modern world only recently. Scientists have only just begun revealing the exact health benefits of this plant.
