Turmeric Root

Turmeric root, also known as Curcuma longa, is a perennial plant native to Southeast Asia that has been utilized for its medicinal properties for centuries. Its yellow-orange rhizome contains the active ingredient curcumin, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties.

Turmeric root is often used in traditional medicine for treating joint pain, digestive issues and skin disorders. It has gained popularity in recent years as a dietary supplement and as an ingredient in various food items due to its health benefits. However, it's important to note that consuming turmeric root in large amounts could cause side effects such as diarrhea or stomach upset.

Additionally, turmeric supplements may interact with certain medications such as blood thinners so it's important to consult a healthcare provider before use.
