Turmeric is a spice of Indian origin which has been long used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine because of its anti-inflammatory property. The active ingredient in turmeric known as curcumin, which belongs to the family of curcuminoid compounds, is proven to decrease inflammation in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders. This herb is well recognized as an anti-oxidant, antiseptic, lowering of blood sugar, anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory properties. Further studies are being done to discover more medicinal properties of this herb.
The roots of this plant are used as the main ingredient of turmeric powder. The powder is then used for culinary purposes and medicinal uses. Turmeric is one of the major components of curry powder and is commonly used as spice or flavor enhancer. The rhizomes of this perennial plant is boiled for several hours, dried with extreme heat using ovens and then grounded into fine powder. This powder has a partly bitter, slightly hot and spicy flavor and a mustardy smell. More importantly, turmeric is currently being studied for its anti-tumor and anti-carcinogenic characteristics. It is thought to impede angiogenesis which is an important process for cancer cell metastasis.
Turmeric has been long used in traditional medicine as an effective therapy for skin diseases and antiseptic solution for wounds. This herb is also used as a carminative management for digestive disorders like bloating, abdominal cramping, flatulence and appetite loss. It is also used topically for sores, wounds, eczema and swelling.
The preparation of this herbal plant can be done by pounding and pressing its roots to extract the juice out from it. It is then mixed with water and may be used topically or via nasal application. The root can also be lightly cooked and eaten. Turmeric is also helpful in earaches and to clear clogged sinuses thus easing breathing. Turmeric also has an astringent quality which is useful in the relief of constipation, tuberculosis, colds and asthma. Turmeric is a natural painkiller similar to cox-2 inhibitor and NSAID drug.
Turmeric is also believed to have a positive effect when used as a diuretic or as treatment for pimples and eczema. Another medicinal property of turmeric is that it is a natural liver detoxifier and has a hepato-protective effect. This herbal plant has medicinal properties and it is used by the Chinese herbalists in treating chest pains, sores, hemorrhages and toothaches. Turmeric is also used in treating ailments associated with respiratory and digestive systems.
The usual recommended dose of turmeric is 400-600 milligrams daily of turmeric tablets or capsules taken three times daily or as directed on the product label.
Experts caution that while herbs are effective in strengthening the body and treating disease, they may contain active substances that can trigger side effects and interact with medications (prescriptions). For this reason, it is highly recommended that herbs should be taken with care and under the supervision of a practitioner knowledgeable in the field of botanical medicine. In conclusion, turmeric and curcumin are considered extremely safe at recommended doses.
