In recent years, there have been countless studies investigating the beneficial properties of turmeric and its ability to support various different aspects of health.

Looking closely at these studies, a recent comprehensive review from 2017 confirms that turmeric and its constituents have great potential to support our overall wellbeing.

Some of its main benefits are:

• Promote healthy digestion: turmeric works to improve intestinal flora, strengthen digestion and metabolism, and aids in the breakdown of proteins.
• Stimulates the brain and nervous system: turmeric has been shown to regenerate and protect nervous system cells, relieving anxiety, elevating mood and improving brain health.
• Supports comfortable joint movement: can be taken internally or applied externally to strengthen joints, tendons and ligaments, leading to greater joint comfort and easier movement.
• Promote clear, glowing skin: Considered a skin and blood tonic, turmeric helps cleanse impurities and promotes a clear complexion.
• Support proper liver function: When used regularly, turmeric promotes healthy liver function and supports the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms.
• Nourishes the heart and circulatory system: Helps warm and stimulate the growth of new blood tissue, which supports healthy heart function and strengthens circulation.
• Boosts the immune system: as a potent source of antioxidants, turmeric helps strengthen the immune system, protects the body from free radicals and prevents imbalance.
