is turmeric?
Turmeric
is a bright yellow spice that is derived from the underground stems, or
rhizomes, of the Curcuma longa plant. The plant is part of the ginger
family and is grown in warm climates around the world.
Turmeric
has long been used for its potential health benefits as well as to enhance
flavor in culinary dishes. It can be used in various forms, including ground
spice and fresh root, and can also be taken as a dietary supplement.

Curcumin
is the biologically active compound in turmeric. Turmeric's potential health
benefits are primarily due to curcumin.
Turmeric's
health benefits
Turmeric
has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine and traditional
Chinese medicine to treat conditions such as skin disorders, respiratory
problems, joint pain relief, and digestive disorders. More recently, turmeric
has become a popular dietary supplement promoted to benefit a variety of
conditions including arthritis, digestive disorders, depression, and allergies,
among others.
Turmeric
has been studied over the past few decades to understand its potential health
benefits. One 2020 study found Curcuma to be associated
with anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, antimicrobial,
antiviral, and antioxidant properties.
Research
has started to show connections between some of these properties and actual
health benefits in people. For example, human studies have shown potential for curcumin
in managing osteoarthritis pain. More research is needed to better understand
other potential benefits of turmeric, as well as the dosage needed to achieve
those benefits.
