Turmeric Root
(Curcuma longa)
Scientific
benefits
The active
ingredient in turmeric powder is a chemical called curcumin, a natural
anti-biotic that helps retard food spoilage. Most scientific research
on
turmeric has been done in India,
where animal studies suggest that turmeric attacks internal parasites
and may
help protect the liver against alcohol. Other animal studies hint that
turmeric, like its cousin ginger, may reduce cholesterol and slow
untoward
blood clotting. A 1985 study published in Western medical periodical cancer letter suggests that curcumin
slows down the growth of lymphoma cancer cells. One thing researches in
both
the East and the West agree on is that turmeric stimulates the
production of
bile needed for digestion, adding to its utility in treating upset
stomach.
