Turmeric the Super
Spice
I have a few
articles on my blog (www.theartofwarogers.info) about the amazing healing
properties in organic Panax ginseng. Warning all ginseng is not the same. Only
organic Panax ginseng has the ability to build resistance and reduce
susceptibility to illness among many other benefits.
The commercial ginseng
most people have access to can actually be harmful if it is not organic and
some commercial ginseng is grown with pesticides and manufactured with
chemicals. Our Ki wellness center is one of the few locations in New York City
that distributes organic Chinese-Korean Panax ginseng.
If organic
Panax ginseng is the most powerful healing herb, Turmeric is the most powerful
healing spice. I was first introduced to the healing power of turmeric many
years ago when I was training to become a certified Ayurvedic practitioner.
Turmeric or “haldi” as it is known in Hindi; has been used for thousands of
years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
Turmeric is
the most powerful antioxidants you can consume, it is one of the strongest
fat-burning, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial spices in the world. Turmeric
grows in India and in many tropical areas in Asia. Curcumin is the main active
ingredient in turmeric its color is bright yellow. Its unique pungent taste can
be found in many Indian dishes.
My Ayurvedic
training allow me to learn how turmeric can be used to address fevers,
infections, weight loss, liver and gall bladder issues; plus the prevention of
Alzheimer’s and heart disease. The curcumin in turmeric has been known to
reduce the oxidation of plaque on the artery walls. Do to my recent injuries I
use it as an anti-inflammatory aid.
According to
the Nutrition and Anti-Aging Health News Letter, studies have shown turmeric to
be a powerful weapon against cancer cells. Not only has research proven that
this special spice can prevent cancer cells from growing but can also slow the
growth and spread of cancer in patients. The curcumin in turmeric was proven to
be more than twice as effective as known cancer drugs like paclitaxel.
Turmeric is
can be used as a dye, if cooking or using turmeric never let it get on your
clothes it will leave a stubborn stain. Curry contains turmeric but it is combined
with other spices and is not as powerful as pure turmeric. If you use turmeric
try to buy it in an organic form. I use turmeric capsules by Science Natural
Supplements which we carry at our wellness center.
There is a
great deal of research on the health benefits of turmeric on line if you are in
a healing mood like I am organic ginseng and turmeric should be a part of your
wellness and healing strategy. Just as I mentioned with the use of ginseng make
sure you know how the turmeric you consume is manufactured it should be organic
if possible.
