Medicinal value of turmeric

In Indian society, turmeric is known for its anti-septic and healing properties. During my childhood turmeric milk was given to us, along with medicines, every time I fell ill or got hurt. Now research is uncovering several benefits of the same.

Turmeric is extracted from the roots of a plant called curcuma longa, which is a member of ginger family. It is widely prescribed in Indian medicine as a potent remedy for liver disorders, rheumatism, diabetic wounds, runny nose, cough and sinusitis. Traditional Chinese medicine uses curcumin as a treatment for diseases associated with abdominal pain, and it is used in ancient Hindu medicine as a treatment for sprains and swelling.

Recent research has uncovered that turmeric prevents the aging of brain and inhibits Alzheimer’s disease that is prevalent in other parts of the world but not in India. It is also making headlines for its newly discovered anti-cancer properties. It is known to stop cancer before it becomes detectable. It also prevents the recurrence of tumor in cancer patients after radiation treatment.

With so many reasons to include turmeric in your diet plan, you wouldn’t want to give it a miss.
