Curcumin (Turmeric key component) is as powerful an antioxidant as vitamins C and E, and even beta-carotene. In the body these important disease-fighting substances mop up unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals that can otherwise damage cells and cause diseases such as cancer.

Curcumin also showed promise in lowering cholesterol levels and fighting arteriosclerosis.

Specifically, turmeric may help to:

• Relieve arthritis, and joint inflammation.
• Ease indigestion, excess gas (flatulence), bloating, and other mild stomach upset.
• Prevent cancer. In its role as an antioxidant, curcumin helps to prevent certain types of cancer (breast, skin, colon, and lymphoma).
• Liver disease
• Bacterial Infection. Turmeric's volatile oil functions as an external antibiotic, preventing bacterial infection in wounds.
• Wounds. Turmeric applied to wounds hastens the healing process.
