Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric which has been shown to have a wide range of therapeutic effects. Turmeric can help with the following:
Digestive Disorders
Turmeric is considered as a digestive bitter and a carminative. It can be added into foods including rice and bean dishes to improve digestion, reduce gas and bloating. It helps in stimulating bile production in the liver and encouraging excretion of bile via the gallbladder.

This improves the body’s ability to digest fats. For chronic digestive weakness and/or congestion turmeric is recommended. It can be taken as a single extract or in the form of digestive bitters, which combine turmeric with other bitter and carminative herbs. Turmeric is beneficial for people who feel tired after consuming meals or who experience gas and bloating. Whatever way turmeric is consumed it is beneficial to both the digestive system and the liver.

Liver Diseases
Turmeric is beneficial for its influence on the liver. In spring more consumption of herbs and foods can strengthen the liver. Turmeric shares similar liver protective compounds that milk thistle and artichoke leaves contain. It is said to shrink engorged hepatic ducts, so it can be useful to treat liver conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and jaundice.

Cancer
Recent scientific research confirms that turmeric can cure a host of diseases; also they found that turmeric restrains the growth of various types of cancer. Turmeric is used for the treatment of skin cancer or pre -cancerous skin conditions. Both topical and internal uses are beneficial.

Menstrual Issues
For women who experience monthly menstrual cramps, try using turmeric extract or bitters twice daily for two weeks prior to expected menstruation. Turmeric is an antispasmodic to smooth muscles so it reduces digestive and menstrual cramping. It should reduce the severity of pain, if not ease them completely. Certainly, diet and standard of living have a reflective influence on the menstrual cycle, but turmeric is a great addition.

Bacterial Infection / Wounds
Turmeric is useful as an external antibiotic in preventing bacterial infection in wounds.

Turmeric gives the energy of the Divine Mother and grants prosperity of health. Turmeric is effectual for purification of the chakras, as well as purifying the path of the subtle body.
