APPEARANCE
A relative of ginger, Turmeric is a perennial plant that grows 3 to 5 feet high in the tropical regions of Southern Asia, with trumpet-shaped, dull yellow flowers. Turmeric is fragrant and has an earthy, bitter, peppery taste. Like Ginger, it creates a sensation of warmth when eaten. The dried roots of Turmeric are ground into a deep yellow spice commonly used in curries and other South Asian cuisine. Sangli, a town in the southern part of the Indian state of Maharashtra, is the largest and most important trading center for Turmeric in Asia and perhaps in the entire world.
HISTORY
Turmeric, as noted, is one of the principal ingredients in curry powder. This spicy herb has long been used in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine as nutritional support for the digestive tract as well as healthy functioning of the liver. Turmeric is also highly regarded by Ayurvedic and Chinese practitioners as nutritional support for healthy skin.
AYURVEDIC USES
Turmeric is a very important herb in Ayurvedic medicine. A symbol of prosperity, it was considered a cleansing herb for the whole body. It was widely used as nutritional support for healthy digestion, and to support the body’s immune system. In the culinary world, Turmeric has long been considered an essential flavoring spice of Indian and other ethnic cuisines. It is Turmeric that provides the typical yellow color of many curry dishes. Turmeric may also play a part in rendering food not only tastier but more digestible as well. Symbol of prosperity, spicy condiment, culinary delight, and best of all, readily available, Turmeric not only tastes great but may also provide ample nutritional support for normal functioning for those with digestive concerns.
STUDIES
Over the last several years, there has been increasing interest in Turmeric and its therapeutic properties. This is partially evidenced by the large numbers of scientific studies published on this topic. The active ingredient in Turmeric is curcumin, which has been the subject of numerous animal studies involving production of bile and normal, healthy functioning of the liver.
