Turmeric root is a truly astounding gift of nature. In addition to being a popular spice used in cuisines from around the world, it is also a premier herb in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a major blood cleanser and liver herb that can significantly increase bile flow. The bile acids in bile are critical for digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. In addition, many waste products produced by the body, such as bilirubin, are eliminated by secretion into bile and subsequently through bowel movement. Healthy bile flow is essential for good health.
In Ayurveda, turmeric root is also known as anti-viral, anti-parasitic and active against many types of bacteria. It is believed to have general joint-rebuilding capability. Due to its ability to support the body's anti-inflammatory response, in India, turmeric root is one off the most widely used herbs for arthritis where is is commonly combined with ginger for osteoarthritis. Turmeric root is a source of curcumin, an exceedingly safe yet potent antioxidant with no known toxicity, extensively researched for its anti-inflammatory and beneficial support of human health.
Studies have shown that curcumin, exhibits anti-tumor properties, beneficial effects on blood glucose, protective effects on the liver, and healthful benefits to Alzheimer's patients.
