Turmeric known as the 'golden spice' has been a purported herb with health benefits of praise for centuries in traditional medicines. In the 21st century, it's the most talked about herb, the most searched for herb and the most researched herb with over 6000 peer reviewed articles stating it's numerous benefits.
Turmeric and its wonderful containing compound, curcumin, have many benefits supported by research, but the main ones to note are supporting healthy joints, immunity, digestion and liver function and mental well being.
Healthy joints
Research has shown that turmeric, in therapeutic doses, may reduce joint pain, swelling and redness. It may support cartilage degeneration and joint inflammation. Turmeric can be given in a supportive role or during times of need.
Immunity
Research has shown that turmeric contains anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. Turmeric has often been used as a successful, seasonal remedy in winter months for cold and flu. Research also suggests it can help with bugs of the stomach.
Digestion and Liver function
Turmeric can help a ‘sluggish’ digestion by promoting blood flow and supporting bile flow. Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile is essential for fat emulsification and absoprtion.
Mental Health
Research has shown turmeric is able to modulate inflammatory cytokine activity, helping the immune system in returning to a better state of balance. Cytokines impact mood and so in conclustion, turmeric can help balance mood, whilst reducing inflammation in the body.
