Turmeric Is Good For… Just About Everything
What Is Turmeric? And What Are Its Benefits?
When you hear the word turmeric, you are probably thinking of a spice that is in curry. But did you know of its benefits for improving human health?
Turmeric is a bright, bitter and fragrant spice. It has been used in Indian and Chinese cooking for thousands of years. These countries not only continually used this spice to brighten up their food, but because of its healing properties.
Turmeric is derived from the root of the turmeric plant and is used for a wide range of reasons, including repelling insects. But that is a whole different story…
Health Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric has countless beneficial properties. This includes being anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial and even antiviral. Some studies have shown that it can help with heart disease and even cancer.
Turmeric is made up of different compounds called curcuminoids. The most active one is called curcumin, which provides the bright yellow color and is the source of the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric.
Turmeric Benefits For the Skin
Fighting inflammation is extremely important in regard to human health. It not only helps your body fight against free radicals and unwanted chemicals, but it also helps your body repair from already placed damage. Even though turmeric works great when ingested, it also is amazing when applied topically on the skin. It not only enhances its powers when fighting free radicals, but it also helps soothe and calm the skin. Evidence shows that turmeric, and curcumin helps with eczema, psoriasis, acne and even wound healing.
