Like most members of the ginger family, this herb has a strong and rich aromatic scent. Native to southern India, turmeric is one of the most important medicinal herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine. The deep red rhizome is not only used medicinally but also as a spice.
Most scientific research has focused on use of turmeric as an anti-inflammatory agent. Results from a number of clinical trials show that in patients with rheumatoid arthritis curcumin can decrease symptoms, such as swollen joints and morning stiffness, and its potency is compared to phenylbutazone. Curcumin is commonly used to treat acute trauma and sports injuries, and is increasingly being used as a general antioxidant. Traditionally, turmeric is used to aid digestion, especially in meals rich in animal fat. | | | | | | | |
