More on Turmeric
Latin name: Curcuma longa

Turmeric is a flowering plant, native to Asia. Ayurveda (a system of medicine with roots in ancient India) has treasured turmeric over literally thousands of years; conveniently, this widespread plant is also a widespread ingredient in Asian cooking.

In recent times, turmeric has also become one of the most sought-after nutritional supplements in North America.

Why should you include it in your diet?
A Google search for ‘turmeric benefits’ will yield a wild range of claims, some of them well-founded. To keep things down to earth and transparent, we choose to say that we (at Two Hills) consume turmeric regularly, because according to Health Canada:

(Traditionally) used in Herbal Medicine as an anti-inflammatory to help relieve joint pain
Used in Herbal Medicine as a hepatoprotectant (liver protectant)
Source of antioxidants
Used in Herbal Medicine to aid digestion, increase bile excretion by the liver and stimulate the gallbladder
Used in Herbal Medicine to aid digestion
(Traditionally) used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve flatulent dyspepsia
Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to eliminate blood stasis, promote the flow of qi, relieve pain of menstruation due to blood stasis
