About this Herbal:

Turmeric emerged as a key component of Ayurvedic medicine around 500 BCE. It was said, at the time, that inhaling the fumes of burning turmeric could alleviate congestion, while a tea or juice made with the spice could heal wounds, bruises and other skin conditions like chicken pox or shingles. If you get the sense that turmeric was viewed as something of an Ayurvedic cure-all, you'd be right.

Since then, this wonder root has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may make it an effective remedy against many ailments.
