Turmeric Powder – Organic
(curcuma longa)

Turmeric powder is a popular culinary spice in many cuisines. Other applications include teas, tinctures, and poultices. Curcumin, a group of antioxidant compounds found in the rhizome, has been linked to many of its healing properties. Turmeric as a whole herb lasts longer in the digestive tract than curcumin, releasing antioxidant curcumin as well as other beneficial substances.

Precautions:

• • Turmeric should be used in moderation. Too much turmeric used for extended periods of time may cause stomach distress.
  • Women trying to conceive should limit their consumption and avoid entirely during pregnancy.
  • Excessive use of turmeric should also be avoided in people with congestive heart failure.
  • The curcumin in turmeric activates a gene called p53. This gene deactivates damaged cells in the heart.
