Turmeric – The golden spice with inner strength

Botanical name:

Curcuma longa

Description:

Turmeric, also known as turmeric root, is a tropical root in the ginger family. Its bright yellow color is due to the natural active ingredient curcumin, a powerful antioxidant. Turmeric has been firmly established in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years – today, it also finds a wide range of uses in natural medicine and nutrition in Europe.
