What are the Benefits of Turmeric?

The turmeric rhizome, or root, is where the active constituents of the plant are found. The most common and well-studied constituents in turmeric are its curcuminoids, mainly turmeric curcumin, found at levels of around 3-5% in the rhizome and contributing to both its vibrant orange-yellow color. Thus, turmeric supports a healthy response to inflammation associated with an active lifestyle.

A common household spice, turmeric powder is one of the primary ingredients in curry powder. Warming, pungent spices like turmeric not only enhance the flavor food, but are also often used because they commonly contain active constituents which benefit digestion. Turmeric root contains around 3-7% volatile oil, giving the root a carminative action on the digestive system. Carminative herbs are especially useful at dispersing gas in the lower gastrointestinal tract. According to the European Medicines Agency, turmeric is good for relieving feelings of fullness, slow digestion and flatulence.

Turmeric Root can be taken as a tea, capsule, powdered spice, or eaten fresh. Studies show that sprinkling a little pepper to your turmeric powder can aid in the absorption of the root's curcuminoids. Looking to add a warming, spicy and herbaceous note to a topical aromatic blend? Try adding a little turmeric essential oil, but be careful to not add too much as this bright orange essential oil can stain the skin.
