Turmeric for Your Health

Imagine a natural spice that had the proven power to reduce or eliminate inflammation, the underlying cause of so many serious health disorders--and that's just for starters. For over 5,000 years, India's Ayurvedic medical practitioners have successfully used turmeric as a treatment for a host of painful and debilitating diseases. And for over sixty years, Indian hospital and research centers have studied the amazing effects of turmeric, with hundreds of scientific papers published throughout India, Asia, and Europe. However, only in 2000 did US medical researchers begin to recognize this ancient root's astounding health benefits. They have found that turmeric:





Lowers blood pressure

Combats ulcers, IBS, and indigestion

Reduces arthritic pain

Increases brain function

Relieves depression and dementia

Helps fight cancer cells

Improves kidney and liver function

Aids in weight loss . . . and more





In this new book, best-selling health writer Larry Trivieri, Jr. has created a clear and simple guide to understanding the science behind turmeric's effects and how it can best be used to enhance well-being. Part One provides both the history and science of turmeric's therapeutic powers, including the latest breakthrough research related to turmeric's most active constituent, curcumin. Part Two offers an A-to-Z guide covering the ailments for which turmeric can provide effective treatment. Each entry presents a description of the problem, how turmeric works to combat the condition, and important considerations during use. This is followed by recommendations regarding the most appropriate form of curcumin and proper dosage. Also included is a resource section that guides you to the best turmeric and curcumin products.





Instead of taking a painkiller that acts only on the symptoms or a drug that can cause unwanted side effects, turmeric acts to alleviate the root cause of a range of medical issues. With few if any side effects, non-addictive turmeric can provide an inexpensive and safe way to enhance your health and improve your everyday life.
