Benefits Of Turmeric
What the Hell is Turmeric?
Turmeric is a tropical root plant that has huge health benefits. Grown mostly in India,it is the family of ginger. Turmeric is used enormously in Indian cooking.
The medicinal benefits that Turmeric has:
Turmeric is widely known as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal herb, which also lowers cholesterol. Helpful in the treatment of jaundice, the extract also has been known to benefit the liver. In fact, historically, this extract was utilized in treating liver and gallbladder disorders by helping in the flow of bile from the liver.
Benefit in using turmeric is the recommendation to help your skin. Also a good treatment against cancer, turmeric is being studied for this and other potential treatments as well. Some reports that turmeric shuts down a protein active in the spread of breast cancer. It should also be mentioned that another study revealed that the incidence of leukemia is very low in countries where the people consume a lot of turmeric in their daily diet.
Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory agent, it is said to relieve the aches and pains associated with arthritis; improves cardiovascular conditions; said to decrease symptoms of skin cancers and reduced the incidence of chemically caused breast cancer on tests with animals; and its oil functions as an external antibiotic, preventing bacterial infection in wounds. Turmeric also reduces an active number of genes which is linked to heart disease, colon cancer and Alzheimer's.
Occasionally shredded and used fresh, turmeric is more often dried and powdered for use. Turmeric extract and turmeric have been used by humans as a food for a very long time, and little or no toxicity at all when taken in moderate doses. Turmeric is generally safe. It has been used in large quantities as a condiment and cooking ingredient with no side effects.
My view is not to use Turmeric Extract during pregnancy or breastfeeding as it might cause uterine contraction. Turmeric Extract is not good for people with gallstones or obstruction of bile passages without consulting their doctor.
Consult your physician before taking turmeric or any dietary supplement.
