Turmeric (Curcuma longa), is quite possibly the most powerful herb on the planet at fighting and potentially REVERSING disease.
Add it to your diet in adequate amounts and you will be waving those doctors prescriptions goodbye and feeling a healthier and stronger person, in control of your body and spirit.
There are various chemical compounds found in turmeric known as curcuminoids. The active substance in turmeric is curcumin.
What we call the turmeric root, is actually the rhizome that grows below the soil and matures, after which the plants are gathered and the rhizomes harvested.
One of the most powerful advantages curcumin has over the traditional medical approach is the COMPLETE LACK OF SIDE EFFECTS!
It has an Anticoagulants/Antiplatelets effect like aspirin or ibuprofen but without their serious side effects! Turmeric is therefore seen as a better option for vascular thrombosis.
Turmeric is especially effective in correcting depression symptoms and has been found to be as effective as Prozac - but without the side effects. Turmeric is a natural way to help boost the immune system so take before you get hit by winter colds or flu.
Possibly the most powerful aspect of curcumin is its ability to control inflammation. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of turmeric have proven very effective in treating skin conditions. Turmeric benefits for skin include speeding up wound healing process faster and with reduced scarring.
Because of its anti-inflammatory and pain killing qualities it is also hugely useful in the management of arthritis. It is equal to steroids in its power to heal but without the side effects related to such strong drugs.
Turmeric root can be used raw or added to recipes.It also makes a delicious tea sweetened with honey. All of us need it in our diets to be strong and healthy. If you do not have access to fresh turmeric root it can be used in the powdered form too but be careful to find an authentic supplier with 100% organic product.
Anything in powdered form is easily adulterated so pure turmeric must always be sought out.
I wish you health, happiness and a steemy day!
