Turmeric
Turmeric has been used extensively in natural and folk medicine for centuries. It’s also used for its color and flavor in international cuisine.
Turmeric root is where we get both turmeric powder and curcumin. It’s often called ‘The Golden Spice’ or ‘The Spice of Life’. Turmeric is cultivated in India (the largest producer, consumer and exporter of turmeric), followed by Bangladesh, China, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries. In English turmeric was called Indian saffron. Sanskrit has over 55 names for turmeric herb.
Because it has been used in folk medicine for centuries, many people believe that turmeric may be the most powerful herb on the planet at fighting and potentially reversing disease.
