Abstract Turmeric is a moderate digestive, as well as an aromatic, stimulating, and carminative spice. Turmeric is one of nature's most potent anti-inflammatories. Curcumin is the active component in turmeric. Turmeric has been used in India for about 2500 years, and it was probably originally employed as a color. Over the years, the therapeutic qualities of this spice have gradually emerged. Curcumin has been proven to kill Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (pus-producing infections). Anemia, cancer, diabetes, digestion, food poisoning, gallstones, indigestion, IBS, parasites, poor circulation, staph infections, and wounds are just a few of the conditions that may affect your health. Turmeric reduces Kapha and is thus used to clear mucus from the throat, watery discharges such as leucorrhea, and any pus in the eyes, ears, or wounds, among other things. Turmeric has been utilized in Unani medicine to treat diseases including liver blockage andjaundice, as well as ulcers and inflammation. A preparation for dysentery has used roasted turmeric as a component. Turmeric has also been utilized in the manufacture of tooth powder and paste. The rhizome is usually the most frequently utilized component of the plant. It comes in a variety of forms and is said to help with asthma and coughing. In Ayurvedic medicine, hot water extracts of the dried rhizome are used orally to alleviate inflammation. Turmeric is also known as a ‘rasayana’ plant, which is an Ayurvedic branch of medicine. Turmeric is utilized to slow down the aging process. Top Keywords Ayurveda, Curcumin, Rasayan, Traditional Medicine, Turmeric. Top |
