Curcuma longa (Turmeric)

Turmeric has highly efficient antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties which helps to increase body’s immunity considerably.

Curcuma longa inhibits the lethal functions of molecules that play major roles in inflammation as it contains high levels of natural pain-relieving COX-2 inhibitors. COX-2 is an enzyme responsible for the formation of prostanoids, the fatty acids which mediate inflammatory reactions and cause chronic inflammation from metabolic oxidation, local site inflammation from minor injury such as a scrape or cut, and post-surgical inflammation. It’s also non-toxic to humans, so it comes without the side effects of prescription medications.

Turmeric is an abundant source of antioxidants which can prevent the free radical induced damages in the body.

Turmeric reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels and stimulating the adrenal glands to produce more cortisone, the body’s natural painkiller. It works to alleviate pain from: Rheumatoid arthritis caused by autoimmune dysfunction, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Diverticulitis by reducing the swelling of colon pockets (diverticula),Fibromyalgia, Headache, Backache caused by muscular strain, sprains or pulls, Osteoarthritis caused by mechanical wear and tear on joints and Gout.
