Additionally, turmeric has multiple medicinal uses and has been used in Chinese medicine. As an anti-inflammatory it relieves the pain associated with arthritis, it is also suggested that it is a blood purifier, it aids in IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and indigestion. Turmeric can also be applied to the skin and used as an antiseptic. Researchers also believe that turmeric may work against skin cancer, colon cancer and breast cancer but more research is still needed.
While there are many other spices I have chosen the most popular for their medicinal attributes in this and my three prior "The Power of Spice" articles. Perhaps the medicine men and witch doctors of long ago knew a lot more than we gave them credit for.
