What the Turmeric!

​Turmeric is known as one of the healthiest natural foods on earth with its amazing anti-inflammatory properties. There are currently over 8500 researched studies regarding the active compound curcumin which is found in turmeric. I’m constantly recommending this beautiful spice (fresh or dried) to my patients, both as long-term maintenance and short term inflammation relief so they can reap the anti-inflammatory and other health benefits associated with turmeric.

Other benefits are:
​
– Improve brain function and it is effective in fighting Alzheimer’s
– Improve heart disease
– Alleviate arthritis
– Prevent certain types of cancer
– Natural pain killer
– Used to treat depression
– Antioxidant rich
– Natural antiseptic and antibacterial
– Aids liver detoxification and more

If you would like to include Turmeric as part of your Wellness plan then this is the Turmeric I recommend.
