Turmeric Root Powder

Turmeric is a spice that is derived from the root of the turmeric plant, which is part of the ginger family. One of the key compounds in turmeric is curcumin, which is responsible for its bright yellow color and many of its health benefits. Turmeric root powder is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it a great addition to any diet. 

Our turmeric root powder is made from organically grown, premium, hand-selected turmeric roots that are carefully dried and ground to preserve their natural flavor and nutritional value. This powder is gluten-free, non-GMO, and 100% pure with absolutely nothing added.

In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric is considered a "rasayana," or rejuvenative herb, which means it is believed to promote overall health and well-being. It is commonly used to treat digestive problems, such as gas and bloating, as well as to improve liver function. Turmeric is also used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, and to reduce joint pain and stiffness.

Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to the development of many diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin has been found to inhibit the activity of a number of molecules that are known to play a role in inflammation, including COX-2, an enzyme that promotes inflammation, as well as TNF-alpha and interleukin-6, two proteins that are involved in the inflammatory response.

Curcumin has been found to be as effective as some anti-inflammatory drugs in reducing inflammation, but without the side effects that are commonly associated with these drugs. Curcumin has also been found to be effective in reducing the risk of certain types of cancer, such as colon and lung cancer, and in reducing the risk of heart disease.
