Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory
arthritis pain reliever
Turmeric is a mild aromatic stimulant used in the manufacture of curry powders and mustards. In the same family as ginger, cardamom and zedoary. The curcumin in turmeric has recently been shown effective in the fight against breast cancer, Alzheimer's and arthritis. It is also recommended to ingest a small amount of turmeric everyday to help give your skin a healthy glow. While this Ayurvedic spice is a healthy addition to cooking, you will need to take turmeric in supplement form in order to reap the medicinal benefits. Turmeric is very reasonably priced, I buy a good quality grade of bulk turmeric powder, and make my own capsules to save money and ensure quality. Add black pepper, or dried ginger to help activate turmeric or choose supplements that include it.
New studies of turmeric also suggest it can be a powerful aid in the fight against obesity. Curcumin, a compound in turmeric, has a remarkable potential to limit the growth of fatty tissue, when supplementing a high fat diet. This is great news for food lovers, as this healthy and inexpensive spice is also great for cooking. To get the weight loss benefits, however, you may want to supplement your diet with turmeric in capsule form, to be sure to get enough.

Fresh turmeric root looks a little like ginger, but inside it can be red or yellow. The red is called kunkum and is considered sacred in Ayurveda. Only the yellow root is used in cooking and medicinally.
Turmeric is the best medicine in Ayurveda. It cures the whole person. Turmeric is pungent, bitter, astringent and heating and has a pungent vipaka. Turmeric can be used by all doshas. It may stimulate vata, but doesn't aggravate it (cause an imbalance).
