Uses of turmeric
This versatile vibrant yellow spice, also known as the golden spice and Indian saffron, can be easily added regularly to our diets from savoury main meals and desserts to teas and lattes (all delicious)! We have included a recipe for each to showcase the different ways in which turmeric can be used.
Turmeric is most widely cultivated and used in India, both in flavoursome curry dishes and as part of Ayurvedic medicine, however it has a long history across various cultures. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic and Western herbal medicine all use Turmeric as a therapeutic substance to treat a number of conditions. These include respiratory ailments and digestive disturbances (stimulating liver function and reducing abdominal pain and bloating).
More recent research has helped to identify the mechanism for the powerful healing properties of turmeric (and particularly it’s constituent, curcumin). Exceptional anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity have been demonstrated. With chronic inflammation being an enemy to health and wellbeing, it is not surprising that numerous possible applications have been investigated with very promising results.
