Turmeric Powder

Description

Turmeric Powder. Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow color. It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. Recently, science has started to back up what the Indians have known for a long time… it really does contain compounds with medicinal properties. These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Twelve of the best benefits of turmeric include:

May slow or prevent blood clots
Reduces depression symptoms
Fights inflammation
Boosts skin health
May outperform common arthritis drug
Could treat or prevent certain cancers
May help manage diabetes
Combats obesity
Supports management of inflammatory bowel disease
May regulate cholesterol
May work as a natural pain reliever
Aids in detoxification.

Other breakthrough studies and reviews (some in animals, others in humans) have found that curcumin may be beneficial for:

Wound healing
Burn pain
Post-operative pain
Inflammation-induced arthritic pain
Neuropathic pain caused by constriction injury
Orofacial pain (pertaining to mouth, jaws and face, most commonly related to dental issues)
Sciatic nerve pain from chronic constrictive injury
Interestingly, the brain-balancing impact of curcumin may even help reduce pain-induced depression.

Turmeric is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic medicine. To make Golden Paste use Turmeric, Olive/Coconut/Sweet almond oil-preferably organic, Ground Black Pepper and Cinnamon. Honey may also be added. Use in 2 weeks, discard remains.

People taking certain medications should also be careful when using turmeric in their food or supplementing with it. Turmeric may interfere with anti-coagulants like aspirin, clopidogrel and warfarin. It also can affect medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other people who may need to be cautious with turmeric include pregnant women, those with gallbladder dysfunction, bleeding issues, diabetes, GERD, or hormone conditions (breast cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, etc.), men with fertility concerns and anyone with iron deficiency. Stop taking turmeric two weeks before any scheduled surgery, as it does potentially slow blood clotting and could interfere with bleeding.
