Turmeric is a popular medicinal plant origin

Turmeric is one of the few herbs that is so widely used for millennia in traditional cuisine of many cultures. Thanks to its outstanding beneficial qualities for the human body, it has earned widespread recognition, as in cooking and folk medicine, and modern science on medicinal plants.





In fact, turmeric is an almost perfect medicinal agent of plant origin. Unlike many known medicines that has many harmful third-party effects sometimes outweigh therapeutic, turmeric is characteristic of hundreds of potential positive side effects. Scientific experiments have confirmed that it helps to regulate more than one hundred sixty of metabolic processes in mammals.

It is well known that there is no food that is suitable to everyone, as literally any product, including herbs have the potential to have unintended negative effects. Almost the only exception to this rule, turmeric surpasses the safe use of all their "competitors" of patented drugs, such as hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, chemotherapy. Moreover, none of the drugs included in the pharmaceutical Arsenal of modern doctors cannot even remotely be compared to long-term effects with turmeric, numbering six thousand years of successful use in Ayurvedic medicine.

In spite of the enormously powerful potential of alleviating human suffering, turmeric, in all probability, will never be included in the list of drugs approved by the official authorities, due to lack of exclusivity, patentability and therefore profitability. An increasing number of people understand nowadays, that the "gold standard" in the field of medicines is determined by an ancient aphorism: "he Who owns the gold makes the laws." And since investors are unlikely to agree to lose $ 800 million in annual sales, the official controlling institution will stand guard over their interests, showing, when necessary, blindness and deafness to the obvious facts. Interestingly, many recent articles on this subject is found in the English-speaking Internet's own heading called "Why the Law prohibits the use in medicine natural substrates".

Anyway, today, the scientists discovered more than six hundred beneficial properties of turmeric, most of which she owes her primary polyphenol – curcumin. Here are some of them:

the destruction of tumors with multidrug-resistant cancer types

the destruction of cancer stem cells (which, under some assumptions, the basis for the emergence of all localizations of the disease)

to protect the body from the harmful effects of radiation

suppression of the pathological inflammatory processes

protection from poisoning by heavy metal salts

prevention and treatment of diseases contributing to the emergence of Alzheimer's.

However, the most striking feature of turmeric is, as already mentioned, its ability, in addition to dozens of major beneficial impacts on human health, to provide more than 600 additional positive effects that are important for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. If you take into account the fact that turmeric grows everywhere on our planet, you can understand why its very existence threatens billions of dollars of profits for pharmaceutical industry.
