Organic India Turmeric Formula
"If I had only one single herb to depend upon for all possible health and dietary needs, I would without much hesitation choose Turmeric."
--Dr. David Frawley, Founder of the American Institute for Vedic Studies
Our organic Turmeric formula is made with the purest, 100% organic turmeric, a natural spice that contains curcuminoids, which are phytonutrients with powerful antioxidant properties that fight the damaging effects of free radicals in the body. Fortified with curcuminoid extract and organic ginger, our organic Turmeric supports important blood and liver functions, healthy joints and overall well-being, which is ultimately reflected in a radiant, supple skin.
It is only in recent years that Western scientists have increasingly recognized the medicinal properties of Turmeric. According to a 2005 article in the Wall Street Journal entitled Common Indian Spice Stirs Hope, research activity into curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is exploding. Two hundred and fifty-six curcumin papers were published in the past year according to a search of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Here is some information published on Turmeric from NCCAM (The national center for complimentary and alternative medicine):
- Today, Turmeric is used for conditions such as heartburn, stomach ulcers, and gallstones. It is also used to reduce inflammation, as well as to prevent and treat cancer.
- Preliminary findings from animal and laboratory studies suggest that a chemical found in Turmeric—called curcumin—may have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, but these findings have not been confirmed in people.
- NCCAM-funded investigators are studying the active chemicals in Turmeric and their effects—particularly anti-inflammatory effects—in people to better understand how Turmeric might be used for health purposes.
Besides flavoring food, to purify the blood and remedy skin conditions is probably the most common use of Turmeric in Ayurveda. The principle organs that it treats are the skin, heart, liver and lungs. Sushruta recommended it for epilepsy and bleeding disorders. Charaka recommended it for skin diseases, to purify the bodymind, and to help the lungs expel Kapha.
