Turmeric (Curcuma longa) by Eagle Peak Herbals: The Aruvedic and Chinese traditional healing systems have long utilized Turmeric as a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, a liver stimulant and a digestive aid. It has also been used to stretch tight ligaments.
Modern researchers have substantiated these uses. They have found it to be an excellent adjunct to many cancer therapies, an anti-oxidant that helps protect the liver from toxic build up, a natural cholesterol lowering herb, and a spice that helps to digest protein. Unlike other anti-bacterial agents in use, Turmeric strengthens digestion while helping to improve intestinal flora. Curcumin, the yellow pigment found in Turmeric root, is currently being used in human clinical trials for the treatment of HIV infection.
Caution: As a member of the ginger family, Turmeric has warming qualities. While excellent for people whom "run cold", it may be best to avoid when experiencing hot flashes or night sweats. Do not use during pregnancy.
