Healing Herbs and Spices: Turmeric (Curcumin)

Herbs have been used and can be traced back to ancient times for their medicinal properties, mostly concentrated into teas and tinctures.

Herbs add big boosts of flavor to foods and allow you to cut back on salt. Several herbs have significant amounts of essential vitamins A, C and K. The superpower of herbs lies in the protective polyphenols plant compounds with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Many studies show that polyphenols in herbs can help combat diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimers, diabetes and more. Polyphenols can help protect us from harmful bacteria as well.

Keep in mind, herbs are not a replacement for medication or other lifestyle modifications. They are a healthy additive and an easy way to enrich your diet.
