Background and Use
Turmeric is a highly regarded spice used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. Turmeric, an ingredient in curry, has been used for more than 2000 years as a culinary spice, medicine, cosmetic, and a fabric dye. This important spice was even described in Marco Polo's memoirs. It became popular in Europe during Medieval times for its coloring value and medicinal uses. Traditionally, Turmeric has been used for gastrointestinal health, joint health and overall body energy. Turmeric also plays a role in some Indian religious ceremonies.
During the 1970s, research began to focus on the pharmacological properties of Turmeric and its constituent curcumin, particularly regarding antioxidant properties and joint health.Precautions
