Health Benefits of Turmeric(Curcumin)

We have known Turmeric as a dye, a medicine, a spice, a panacea, a pungent flavor, a stain on fingertips, and this root has buried for ages in the tropical soil of South Asia.

Turmeric(Curcumin): a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-antioxidant has many health benefits.

An active ingredient found in Turmeric known an curcumin, is a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-antioxidant. Unfortunately, Curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. For the proper absorption of its healing compound into the bloodstream it is advised to take this with black pepper.

As inflammation is a major antecedent for a range of illness, the medicinal applications for Turmeric are vast.
