What Are the Parts of Turmeric Used for Healing, and How Does It Benefit Health? - #12138
I’ve been using turmeric in cooking, but I want to know more about the parts of turmeric used in Ayurvedic medicine and how they benefit health. What are the parts of turmeric used for healing, and how does each part contribute to overall wellness? From what I understand, turmeric is primarily used in its root form, which contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. How does curcumin help reduce inflammation, promote joint health, and improve skin health? What other parts of turmeric are used in Ayurvedic treatments, such as the leaves or stem? How do these parts contribute to the herb's healing properties? How is turmeric best consumed for health benefits—should it be taken in capsule form, added to milk (as golden milk), or used in topical applications for skin conditions? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions when using turmeric, particularly for individuals with gallbladder issues or sensitive digestion?
