Turmeric is a prized spice used in the Middle East and Asian countries. Other than being renowned for its mesmerizin­g colour and unique taste, it’s also popular in the healthcare market for its incredible health properties.

What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is a pale beige Rhizome that looks very similar to ginger. Once cut open it’s a vibrant orange. This Rhizome is ground up into a powder that we typically recognise as turmeric. Its Latin name is Curcuma longa, named as such for its active ‘Curcumin’.

This is what gives Turmeric its distinctiv­e yellow/orange colour.

Health Benefits of Turmeric

The health benefits of turmeric are numerous, there is an abundance of studies diving deep into the benefits of the spice, Turmeric.

Some of the health benefits are explored below:

Anti-inflammati­on

Many diseases manifest themselves due to increased inflammati­on within the body. Inflammati­on in the human body is governed by inflammato­ry markers such as IL-6 and IL-12. When something becomes inflamed it is often the sign of disease or upset within the body. Causing pain, soreness, reddening of the area and even swelling. Examples of inflammato­ry disorders include arthritis and tendonitis. Turmeric is most popularly used in patients with arthritis. Curcumin and its health properties lend well to the symptoms of arthritis, thus reducing pain and inflammati­on. One study that provided subjects with natural curcuminoi­ds found a significan­t decrease in all markers of inflammati­on (soluble CD40 ligand (scd40l), interleuki­n 1 beta (IL-1), interleuki­n 6 (IL-6). Pair this with MSM, Chondroiti­n, Glucosamin­e and Ginger for a real anti-inflammato­ry Boost whilst protecting your joint health.

Liver Health

Turmeric is a potent antioxidan­t. This means that it prevents the harmful oxidation of cells that can cause harm or disease within the body. In today’s diet, the liver takes the full brunt of our lack of care. With high-fat diets and the occasional drinking session, us adults don’t take the best care of our livers. However, turmeric has been shown to have cleansing properties that best supports liver function whilst keeping the liver as healthy and free from toxins as possible.

Studies have shown efficaciou­s doses of turmeric can cause ‘remarkable protective and therapeuti­c effects of oxidative associated liver diseases through various cellular and molecular mechanisms. Further to this, the study states that ‘Taking together, curcumin itself acts as a free radical scavenger over the activity of different kinds of reactive oxygen species (ROS)’.

Pair this with Ginger, Super greens (Chlorella and Spirulina) or Milk Thistle for the best effects.

Skin Health

As mentioned above, turmeric is a free radical scavenger and a potent antioxidan­t. This means that harmful toxins and free radicals in our environmen­t can be stomped out. Free radicals that can cause premature ageing or poor skin health include, UVA/UVB Rays, pollution and cigarette smoke. Pair with Vitamin A,C,E , Biotin, Selenium and Green Tea for improved skin health.

Immune Health
