The health related benefits of Turmeric have been known in both India and China for the last 2000 years. Healers have used it to combat a wide range of illness ranging from digestion issues to depression; headaches to relieving congestion.

In the present day, turmeric has been found not only to slow the spread of many cancerous cells but to augment the effects of more mainstream treatments such as chemotherapy.

Turmeric’s active ingredient is called curcumin. Curcumin is such a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory there is almost no part of the body which doesn’t benefit from it.
